Verified by ExpertsB
Well-defined nucleus
Protists are eukaryotic, so they possess a true nucleus with nuclear membrane.
Primarily aquatic habitat
Most protists live in freshwater, marine water, or moist soil.
Diverse nutrition
They show autotrophic (algae), heterotrophic (protozoa), and mixotrophic (Euglena) modes of nutrition.
Reproduction and zygote formation
Many protists reproduce sexually and form a zygote during sexual reproduction.
Flagellation present in many members
Some protists like Euglena and Trypanosoma are flagellated, so flagella are not absent in all.
