An amoebae moving by using it's pseudopodia.
A genus of naked, lobose, pseudopod-forming protozoa of the class Sarcodina that are abundant soil-dwellers, especially in rich organic debris ... www.lungusa.org/site/c.dvLUK9O0E/b.40415/
Protists like amoeba use structures called pseudopods for movement. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract, allowing the protist to push itself along in the direction it wants to move.
Amoebas move by extending their cell membrane out in the direction they want to go, forming temporary protrusions called pseudopods. They then flow their cytoplasm into the pseudopods, allowing them to move in a process known as amoeboid movement.
Protists that produce their own food through photosynthesis are called "autotrophic protists." These organisms, such as algae, contain chlorophyll and can convert sunlight into energy, similar to plants. They play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers, forming the base of the food chain.
Protists defend themselves through various mechanisms such as producing toxins, forming protective shells or cysts, using flagella to escape predators, and engulfing or expelling invaders through phagocytosis. Some protists also have mutualistic relationships with other organisms for protection.

Spore-forming Protists: Sporozoans are nonmotile unicellular parasites that form spores.

The ocular and objectives
Examples of fungus-like protists include slime molds, water molds, and downy mildews. These protists exhibit characteristics resembling both fungi and protists, such as forming spores for reproduction and possessing cell walls.

Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.
