Document Summary

Protists represent an unusual mix of organisms: more diverse than all 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. Eukaryotic differences: nucleus (with a double membrane, organelles, 2 or more chromosomes (dna + proteins) 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 into several general groups based on nutritional methods: autotrophic (photosynthetic) There is also a great deal of variation in the reproductive cycles among protist species: our understanding of the evolution of the organisms in what was kingdom protista has undergone significant rearrangement over the past decade.
