Protists are a diverse collection of organisms that do not fit into animal, plant, bacteria or fungi groups. While exceptions exist, they are primarily microscopic and made up of a single cell ...
Protists are found across the planet in a variety of ecosystems. Some species, like certain marine plankton protists and human disease-causing protists have been studied closely.
Protists are a diverse, catchall group. Most are unicellular, but with features that disqualify them from grouping with other types of life like animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea.
A survey of fungi, plant-like protists and monerans, algae, bryophytes, ferns and fern allies, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Lecture, laboratory, and field studies emphasize diversity in morphology, ...
Seemingly missing are tiny organisms called protists, a diverse and predominantly unicellular group. Like animals and plants, protists have a nucleus containing DNA (whereas single-celled bacteria ...
A new study reveals plants, fungi, bacteria, protists, and even some viruses deploy venom-like mechanisms, similar to that of venomous snakes, scorpions and spiders, according to researchers at ...
The most common groups of soil protists behave exactly like Pac-Man: moving through the soil matrix, gobbling up bacteria according to a new article.
Scientists have discovered what may be the world’s oldest plant-like fossils, found in sedimentary rocks in central India. The preserved specimens are estimated to be 1.6 billion years old, and ...
Scientists are still learning about the complex process, called endosymbiosis, by which a cell, like a protist, for some reason absorbs other living things to create something quite new in biology.
