Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants, animals, fungi, or bacterias.

The 5 Super groups of Protists Include: Excavata, Chromalveolates, Rhizaria, Archaeplastida, and Unikonts.

Excavata: Diplomonads, Parabalalids, Eugleozoans (Kinetoplastids and Euglenids)

Chromalveolates: 1. Alveolates (Dinoflagellates, Apicomplexans, Ciliates) 2. Stramenophiles ( Golden Algae, Brown Algae, Diatoms, and Oomycetes)

Rhizaria: Chlorarachniophytes, Forams, Radiolarians

Archaeplastida: Red Algae, Green Algae (Cholorophytes, Charophyceans), Land Plants*

Unikonts: Amoebazoans (Slime mold, Gymnamoebas, Entamoebas), and Opisthokonts ( Nucleariids, Fungi*, Choanoflagellates, Animals*)

* Although these Eukaryotic groups are also kingdoms, they share similarities to certain groups of Protists. The protist kingdom is a very diverse and vast grouping that is sometimes difficult to characterize.
