What is the one unifying characteristic of protists?
All protists are single celled organisms.
Is the primary characteristic used to classify the types of animal-like protists?
Sexual reproduction is the primary characteristic used to classify the types of animal-like protists. However, determining if the protist is multi-cellular is also another primary characteristic.?æ
What level of structural organization best describes protists?
cells
What term describes protists that may be either free living or get nutrients from host organisms?
parasitic
How are protists different from plants?
Animals undergo sexual reproduction, whereas protists have asexual reproduction. Animals are also multi-cellular organisms, protists can be single celled. Some protists are multi-cellular, but they lack specialized tissue (another characteristic often seen in animals).Protists are sometimes called (incorrectly) as "unicellular animals".they are different because one is microscopic and one is not

What structures do all protists have?
The protists do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization[3] - either they are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues. This simple cellular organization distinguishes the protists from other eukaryotes, such as fungi, animals and plants. Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as the algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of the plankton. Other protists, such as the Kinetoplastids and Apicomplexa are responsible for a range of serious human diseases, such as malaria and sleeping sickness.
