Protists
|
Protists are like a junk-drawer kingdom. Protists don't really fit into any other biological kingdom. They are all organisms that have cells with nuclei. They all live in moist surroundings. Otherwise, they differ. Some are unicellular, some are multicellular. Some are heterotrophs, others are autotrophs, others are both. Some can move, some zoom around. Protists can be placed in the following categories: 1) animal-like, 2) fungus-like, and 3) plant-like.
