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.
What else can I help you with?
What are characteristics all protists?
All protists have cells containing at least one nucleus, internal membranes, and other typical cell structures
Do protists move independently?
Yes, protists can move independently through the use of structures like flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. These structures allow protists to swim, glide, or crawl in their aquatic or moist environments.
Do protists move?
yes they actually can. they have structures which allow them to move across. The cilia (tiny hair like structures), flagella (whip like structures), or pseudopod whoch acts like a foot.
How do protists move?
Ways that protists move:flagellaciliumpseudopodSome protists don't move at all.It uses its flagella. Some like the ameoba don't have a flagella but can move around with their body
Why do protists have appendage or flagella?
Protists have appendages like flagella to help them move and navigate through their environment. These structures enable protists to swim and propel themselves, allowing them to find food, avoid predators, and locate favorable conditions for survival. Appendages and flagella are vital adaptations for protists' motility.

Animal like protists that use structures called?
Animal-like protists that use structures called pseudopods to move and feed are known as amoebas. These organisms are able to extend and retract these pseudopods to capture food particles and propel themselves through their environment.

Are all protists unicellullar?
No, not all protists are unicellular. Some protists can be multicellular, such as certain seaweeds and algae.
How are monerans and protists?
Monerans or prokaryotes are similar to protists because they are both unicellular. Their modes of locomotion is through the use of structures like flagella and cilia.
How are protists similar to animals?
Protists are similar to animals in a couple ways. All animals are multicellular and some protists are multicellular though not all are. All protists and animal cells are also eukaryotic or containing a nucleus.
Why do protists have appendage or flagella?
Protists have appendages like flagella to help them move and navigate through their environment. These structures enable protists to swim and propel themselves, allowing them to find food, avoid predators, and locate favorable conditions for survival. Appendages and flagella are vital adaptations for protists' motility.
Are protists producers?
Some protists are producers. They contain special structures called chloroplasts that capture solar energy in order to perform the process of photosynthesis.
What are short threadlike structures extending from cell membranes of protists?
Cilia and flagella are short threadlike structures extending from the cell membranes of protists. They are used for movement and/or feeding by creating a whipping motion to propel the organism through its environment.
How do protists move from place to place?
From moving their tiny hair-like structures, whip-like structures, etc. Sorry, I don't know more.
