Protozoans are most diverse of all eukaryotes in terms of nutrition. Some protists are photoautotrophs (light), and contains chloroplasts. Some are heterotrophs (food), and they absorb organic molecules or ingest larger food particles. Also, there are groups called mixotrophs (both), where they combine photosynthesis and heterotrophic nutrition.
