1. Protist unicellular, or multicellular without specialized tissues
"plant-like" 
"animal-like" 
"fungus-like"

2. Algae
simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms
Most are photosynthetic like plants, but they lack the many distinct cell and organ types found in land plants
All true algae have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane

3. Classification Rhodophyta Heteromontophyta Chlorophyta Diatomaceae
Cyanophyte is a phylum of bacteria not Algae

4. Rhodophyta cells without flagella and centrioles
with phycobiliproteins as accessory pigments (giving them red color)
sexual reproduction
Most rhodophytes are marine, generally prefer clean, running water

5. Heteromontophyta
contain the pigment fucoxanthin, which is responsible for the greenish-brown color
sexual or asexual reproduction
adapted to a wide variety of marine ecological niches including the rock pools, the whole intertidal zone and relatively deep near shore waters.

6. Chlorophyta most with two flagella per cell
almost all forms have chloroplasts
contain chlorophylls a and b, giving them a bright green color (as well as the accessory pigments beta carotene and xanthophylls)
green algae are eukaryotic organisms that follow a reproduction cycle called alternation of generations.

7. Alternation of generations

8. Diatomaceae most diatoms are unicellular
the most common types of phytoplankton
diatom cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide)
widespread in the oceans, freshwater, soils and damp surfaces
Their yellowish-brown chloroplasts are containing pigments such as the carotenoid fucoxanthin.
asexual binary division

9. Protozoa

10. Protozoa are a diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic organisms, many of which are motile. Originally, protozoa had been defined as unicellular protists with animal-like behavior, e.g., movement. Protozoa were regarded as the partner group of protists to protophyta, which have plant-like behaviour, e.g., photosynthesis.

11. Classification
Protozoa were previously often grouped in the kingdom of Protista, together with the plant- like algae and fungus-like slime molds. As a result of 21st-century systematics, protozoa, along with ciliates, mastigophorans, and apicomplexans, are arranged as animal-like protists. With the possible exception of Myxozoa, protozoa are not categorized as Metazoa.Protozoa are unicellular organisms and are often called the animal-like protists because they subsist entirely on other organisms for food. Most protozoa can move about on their own.Amoebas, paramecia, and trypanosomes are all examples of animal-like protists.

12. characteristics
Protozoa commonly range from 10 to 52 micrometers, but can grow as large as 1 mm, and are seen easily by microscope. They were considered formerly to be part of the protista family. Protozoa exist throughout aqueous environments and soil, occupying a range of trophic levels.

13. Ecological role
As components of the micro- and meiofauna, protozoa are an important food source for microinvertebrates. Thus, the ecological role of protozoa in the transfer of bacterial and algal production to successive trophic levels is important. As predators, they prey upon unicellular or filamentous algae, bacteria, and microfungi. Protozoa are both herbivores and consumers in the decomposer link of the food chain. They also control bacteria populations and biomass to some extent. Protozoa such as the malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.),trypanosomes and leishmania, are also important disease causing agents in humans.

14. Motility and disgestion
Tulodens are 2 of the slow-moving form of protozoa. They move around with whip-like tails called flagella, hair-like structures called cilia, or foot-like structures calledpseudopodia. Others do not move at all. Protozoa may absorb food via their cell membranes, some, e.g., amoebas, surround food and engulf it, and yet others have openings or "mouth pores" into which they sweep food,and that engulfing of food is said to be phagocytosis. All protozoa digest their food in stomach-like compartments called vacuoles.
