Protista Kingdom

The Protista Kingdom encompasses a diverse array of organisms that are classified based on their similarities to animals, fungi, or plants. Animal-like protists include ciliates like Paramecium that use cilia for movement, sarcodines such as Heliozoa with contractile vacuoles to expel water, and flagellates like Dictyochales that utilize flagella for locomotion.
