Answer:
Explanation:
A few characteristics are common between protists.
They are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus.
Most have mitochondria.
They can be parasites.
They all prefer aquatic or moist environments.
There are over 100,000 described living species of protists, and it is unclear how many undescribed species may exist. Since many protists live as commensals or parasites in other organisms and these relationships are often species-specific, there is a huge potential for protist diversity that matches the diversity of hosts. As the catchall term for eukaryotic organisms that are not animal, plant, or fungi, it is not surprising that very few characteristics are common to all protists.
