The point of all this. . .
Protists, like animals, plants, and fungi, have nuclei in their cellsótheyíre eukaryotes
They may be single-celled or multi-celled; some look much like animals or plants
What makes them not animals or plants is the general lack of cellular differentiationóthe presence of different types of cells that have different functions.
The Kingdom Protista is a ìwastebasketîó anything that isnít animal, plant or fungus tends to get dumped here.
