Question

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.
