    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes various types of protists. It notes that protists are unicellular, require water, most are heterotrophic and free-living though some are parasitic. It provides examples of specific protists including amoebas, paramecium, algae groups like green algae and diatoms, and parasitic protists that can cause diseases like malaria, amoebic dysentery, and African sleeping sickness. Diagrams show the life cycles and impacts of some pathogenic protists.
