Answer:
Definition of a Protist
Defining 'protist' is not as easy as one might expect, since there is still much debate among biologists concerning the exact classification. But in general, a protist is considered a eukaryote and that does not belong to the animal, plant, or fungi kingdoms being composed of some very diverse organisms, such as protozoans, unicellular algae, and slime molds. A eukaryote is an organism with membrane-bound organelles that includes a nucleus.
Ciliates, such as the little paramecium pictured here, are the largest of the bunch. Each has little hair-like projections, called cilia, trailing off of its pellicle, a membrane surrounding the organism. The protists uses the cilia to rhythmically beat against its fluid environment. You could think of cilia as like thousands of little oars that the organism coordinates for movement. Ciliates, being the largest of the three protists, tend to feed on the other two type of protists (as well as bacteria), which they collect in their oral groove (or mouth) and engulf. They can also use their cilia to create a small current, which allows the protists to essentially sit back while their food comes to them.
Flagellates
Flagellates are generally the smallest of the protists and have either one or multiple small, tail-like projections called flagellum.

Biologists generally categorize protists according to their Mode of movement, or locomotion. All protists can travel through water by one of three methods: cilia, flagella, or pseudo/axopodia.
