Question

Are all protists unicellular?

Answer 1

Unicellular organisms

1. They are made up of one cell and all pivotal functions are performed by a single cell.
2. Example- Protozoa, E.coli, etc.

Protists:

1. Simple, single-celled eukaryotic organisms.
2. They are considered neither animals nor fungi or plants.
3. Mode of reproduction- sexual or asexual.
4. Examples- algae, plasmodium, euglena, amoebas, slime molds, etc.
5. Although most protists are single-celled, protists like kelp (brown algae) can grow over 100 meters.
6. Therefore, not all protists are unicellular.
