Chapter 28- Protists Overview: Living Small Protist- the informal name of the group of mostly unicellular eukaryotes Protists constitute a polyphyletic group, and Protista is no longer valid as a kingdom caused by systematics. Molecular data shows there is genetic diversity. Concept 28.1: Most eukaryotes are single celled organisms Protists are eukaryotes most are unicellular, but there are some colonial and multicellular species Protists are the most diverse of the eukaryotes Single celled protists can be very complex, as all biological functions are carried out by organelles in each individual cell don?t see the division of labor like in multicellular eukaryotes, every single cell has all the organelles a protist needs to survive
