Should protist be in their own Kingdom?

Answer 1

No, viruses are in a group of their own. They are not living organisms since they don't carry out all the 7 vital functions so their group isn't officially a kingdom.

Answer 2

There is ongoing debate among biologists about whether protists should be classified in their own kingdom or distributed among other kingdoms like Plantae, Animalia, and Fungi. Some argue that their diversity and evolutionary history warrant a separate kingdom, while others suggest grouping them based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Ultimately, how protists are classified can depend on the classification system being used and our understanding of their evolutionary relationships.

Answer 3

yes. they are unicellular algae and have two flagella, allowing them to be motile

Answer 4

Protists are already in their own kingdom, the Protista. Even this kingdom is divided into several kingdoms to accompany all types of protists.
