Protists are unicellular eukaryotes, So they have membrane-bound organelles similar to animal cells and are in general larger than bacterial or archaea cells. Probably the mos famous protist is the Amoeba, but many many others exist.

However, the term is being used less in favor of recognizing the diversity of these organisms. The term is still commonly used to refer to unicellular eukaryotes, but may not always be considered a proper "kingdom" comparable to plantae or animalia.
