Summary Introduction
Introduction: Protists are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. There are various subgroups of protists, and one of them is alveolate. The term “alveolate” signifies the presence of a specialized organelle called alveoli in their plasma membrane. Therefore, alveoli are present in every alveolate.
