Document Summary

The protists represents an unusual mix of organisms. Protists are more diverse than all other eukaryotes and are no longer considered a single kingdom. The organisms found in this are all eukaryotes and most are single-celled for most of their life-cycle however but some are colonial and there may even be multicellular forms. Since the protista are eukaryotic cells, they are clearly different from the bacteria and archaea. The differences between the protists and the rest of the eukaryotes are not quite as clear. Protists are nutritionally diverse and can be organized them into general groups based on nutritional methods: Mixotrophic (combining photosynthesis and ingestive or absorptive methods) The evolution of protists is the results of endosymbiosis (see fig. Primary endosymbiosis resulted in plastid-bearing lineages which evolved into red and green algae. The current state of what was kingdom protista is five supergroups (see fig 28. 3). The two largest clades of the excavates are the diplomonads and the parabasalids.
