Protistas do not have cell walls. The only similarity between a protista and a plant is the fact that protistas have chloroplasts. This statement is completely false. Protists, almost all single-celled, do have wall. See Rotsen's answer of today. And only some protists are plant-like using chlorophyll to produce energy from sunlight.Type rednasrotsen typed in the YouTube 'Find' box for slide shows about microfossils including protists.

Protists include a variety of living planktonic micro-organisms (mainly protozoa and fungi) and their fossils. They are either animal-like and require the ingestion of food to survive, or are plant-like and get their energy through photosynthesis. THeir shells (tests) are either mineral: calcium carbonate (limestone), silica (silicon dioxide) or apatite (calcium phosphate). or an organically produced, resistant, fatty acid, very easily fossilized, that coats seeds and forms the test of some dinoflagellates, tintinnids and other groups, along with some foraminifera where it is often agglutinated with sand .For more precision bring up the University of California Museum of Paleontology and look for protists. The diatoms (plant-like) and the radiolaria(animal-like) are the principal users of silica for their tests. Foraminifera (many benthonic) use calcium carbonate very extensively
