How do scientist classify protists
Size and shape
How do different protists obtain energy?
Some consume food, some produce food usually with photosynthesis, and some decompose dead organisms
How do different protist move

How do protist respond to stimuli
They respond with a cyst, which if the water dries up it will form one Eye spot to detect light Don't like light, move away Move away from danger Shoot out trichocysts
