Time to learn about protists! Kingdom Protista contains a collection of diverse and awesome organisms that are actually not considered animals… or plants… or fungi. Pretty cool stuff right? Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are typically unicellular… but some are multicellular. Our ecosystem benefits so much from protists because of they do so many astounding things. Protists can be producers that photosynthesize, keep bacterial populations in check by ingesting them, and can even form (positive or negative) symbiotic relationships with other organisms. Learn more about different protists in the Google Slides that Chloe, Annica, Lily, and I made!
