Protists have characteristics such as being eukaryotic, are both photosynthetic and heterotrophic species and are single-celled. Some are plant-like while others are animal-like but they all fall under kingdom Protista.

What characteristics make a organism a protist?
All single celled organisms are placed under Kingdom Protista. This kingdom forms a link between other kingdoms of plants, animals and fungi. Members of Protista are primarily aquatic in nature.
Why might protista be thought of as the odds and ends kingdom?
Kingdom Protista is composed of eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. Of the six kingdoms, Protista is the least accurate classification, because of the variety its members display.
What is a division containing plants animals and fungi?
Eukarya is the domain that contains plants, animals, and fungi, It also contains protists. Though there is vast diversity in form, they share fundamental characteristics of cellular organization, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
Why are prokaryotes divided into different domains?
Protists and bacteria are grouped into different domains because the Protists are more complex and contain a membrane backed nucleus which bacteria lacks. Furthermore, Protists eat bacteria and bacteria decomposes Protists. Bacteria is not made of cells and Protists are photosynthetic.
What produces oxygen other than plants?
Algae, protists, phytoplankton and bacteria.
Why are protists and monerans placed in separate kingdoms?
because there is a true nucleus in the protists Monera do not have a true nucleus other organism have nucleus
What is monara?
Monera is one of the five kingdoms of living organisms; it includes bacteria. The other kingdoms are plants, animals, protists, and fungi.
Do protists and archaea live together in colonies?
No, archaea and protists are very similar but they do not live together in colonies. Protists is anything that doesn't fit in the category of the other kingdoms. Hope this helped!
What are characteristics all protists?
All protists have cells containing at least one nucleus, internal membranes, and other typical cell structures
Why are some protists more closely related to other kingdoms than to members of their own kingdom?
Because they are more different than they are alike.
What are characteristics all protists share?
The word "protozoon" is a catch-all for any single-celled eukaryote. That's all they have in common; they've got a nucleus. "Protozoa" is an archaic taxon, and over the years has since been split into various other kingdoms including Amoebozoa, Excavata, Rhizaria, and more.
What are living things other than plants and animals?
Other than the organisms that fall under the kingdoms of animals and plants, living organism fall under the categories of Fungi, Protists, Eubacteria (Monera), and Archaebacteria. Examples from these kingdoms are: Fungi: mold Protists: algae Eubacteria (Monera): E. Coli Archaebacteria: Halophiles
What make protists different from bacteria?
internal membranes which separate different organs, also a different form for DNA, protists are bigger, and several other minor differences
What characteristics make a organism a protist?
All single celled organisms are placed under Kingdom Protista. This kingdom forms a link between other kingdoms of plants, animals and fungi. Members of Protista are primarily aquatic in nature.
Why are bacteria in their own kingdom and not with plants animals protists or fungi?
Bacteria are in their own kingdom, called Monera, because they have distinct characteristics that separate them from plants, animals, protists, and fungi. They are single-celled organisms without a nucleus, making them different from eukaryotic organisms found in other kingdoms. Bacteria have unique biological processes and structural features that justify them being classified in a separate kingdom.
What is the importance of the protists to the survival of all living things?
Good source of food and many other things dealing with the different PHylum Kingdoms in the Cyrogenetic Life-Cycle.
Four of the kingdoms incluede eukaryotes and the other two include?
Prokaryotes. Eukaryotes have nucleated cells, and include Fungi, Protists, Plants, and Animals. Prokaryotes do not have nuclei, they are the Bacteria and Archaea
