What structures or features do all protists have in common?
Expert Solution

Introduction:
- All eukaryotes that are not fungi, animals, or plants are categorised as protozoa, or protists. Protists are unicellular organisms that can also exist as a colony of cells.
- The majority of protists are found in water, damp terrestrial environments, or as parasites. Protists can have incredibly varied appearances.
- Some are big and multicellular, like seaweed, while others are small and unicellular, like an amoeba. However, multicellular protists lack highly specialised tissues and organs.
