Protists exhibit a wide range of shapes and sizes, from single-celled organisms to complex algae.
Protists play important ecological roles as primary producers and consumers in aquatic food webs.
Paramecium and amoeba are protists commonly found in freshwater habitats.
Phytoplankton, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, are protists crucial to marine ecosystems.
