28. 1 28. 7 figure 28. 3 (major groups) table in chapter review (pp. Refers to eukaryotes that are not plants, animals, or fungi. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bounded organelles. The organisms in most eukaryotic lineages are protists. Protists exhibit more structural and functional diversity than any other group of eukaryotes. Most protists are unicellular although there are some colonial and multicellular species. At the cellular level, protists are the most elaborate of all cells: unicellular protists carry out the same essential functions as multicellular organisms using subcellular organelles. These organelles are the same as those found other cells but also rely on ones not found like the contractile vacuole that pumps excess water out. Protists are nutritionally diverse: photoautotrophs contain chloroplasts, heterotrophs absorb organic molecules or ingest larger food particles, mixotrophs combine photosynthesis and heterotrophy. Reproduction and life cycles are varied: reproduce only asexually, reproduce sexually, reproduce via meiosis and fertilization.
