Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Protists comprise unicellular eukaryotic organisms having a cellular level of organization. Colonial forms are also included in this group. These include protozoans, which are heterotrophic protists, protophyta, which comprise autotrophic organisms, and molds comprising saprophytic organisms, for example, water molds and slime molds.
