What kinds of protists live in the Himalayas?

These are single-celled (unicellular) organisms, and\nhave a well-defined membrane-bound nucleus.\nTheir modes of nutrition may be quite varied.\n• Active feeders: Some protists like Amoeba and\nParamecium (Fig. 23.5) ingest food like most\nanimals. Very often these are also referred to as\nProtozoa (protos: primitive, zoon: animal).\n• Photosynthesizers: Some protists like Euglena\n(Fig. 23.3) have chlorophyll and manufacture\ntheir own food like the plants.\n• Reproduction: Mostly asexual reproduction by\nfission and some reproduce sexually.\n• Occurrence: Many protists live freely in water\nor in soil and many are harmful parasites which\ncause diseases. Some of the protists are\npathogenic, such as Entamoeba histolytica that\ncauses dysentery and Plasmodium vivax that\ncauses malaria.

"No protists are producers."\n\nI'm sure of it. Protists are the "junk drawer" of kingdoms.\nThe category of Protists includes many widely ranging microbes, including slime molds, protozoa and primitive algae. They are all eukaryotic <you-carry-ah-tick> creatures, meaning their DNA is enclosed in a nucleus inside the cell (unlike bacteria, which are prokaryotic <pro-carry-ah-tick> and have no nucleus to enclose their DNA. \n\nAlgae, Protozoa, Slime molds: Some produce and some consume.

A Filipino biologist, Dr. Lina Villacarlos, recently discovered a new breed of parasitic fungus. She named it Entomorphthora leyteensis because it falls under the fungus family known as Entomorphthorales – a family that is classified as parasites on insect like the common housefly – and leyteensis from the name of the place where she discovered it, that is Leyte. \n\nEDWARD QUINTO A Luminous Vision : This Filipino biologist has worked tirelessly to make use of low-cost, local resources to help his country and people.\n\nEarly in the 1960's, Filipino biologist (Dioscoro) Rabor alerted the world that this magnificent bird was in serious danger of extinction. Eagles were found on only four of the 1,700 islands of the Philippine Archipelago. A handful of birds were reported on Leyte and Samar, with the majority on the islands of Luzor and Mindanao.\n\nCarmela Española, a Filipino wildlife biologist, found a group of these dark brown birds with their distinctive orange-red bills and legs foraging in the undergrowth near a stream while she was walking through a rainforest on May 11 this year.\nHer notes and photographs, along with the recordings of the bird’s loud, harsh, rasping calls, later helped determine that the species was not only new to her, but also new to science. Locals, however, know the bird by the name ‘piding’. Some residents said the birds were there sometimes even caught for food.\n\nWood describes how he was brought by Dr Alcala, a distinguished Filipino biologist, to the one island where the reef was expected to be safe, since a marine nature reserve had saved it from dynamiting. Only to find it swarming with illegal squatters, driven by hunger to invade, fish out and ruin the last reserve

Coral and hydra are both in the phylum Cnidaria, but hydra are in the class hydrozoa and most coral in anthozoa.  Hydrozoa have two body stages: medusa and polyp, whereas anthozoa only have one: polyp.  Coral often live in large colonies, whereas hydra do not.  Coral are mostly dependent on food from their symbiotic relationship with algae- not so with hydra (but they can form sybiotic relationships with some algae), therefore depend on growing in sunlight.  Coral can also grow much larger in size.

The domain would be Eukarya--Eukaryotic cells. Some folks would put protista in Kingdom Protista within the larger superkingdom or domain Eukarya. \n\nHowever, the word "protist" conveys the meaning of "eukaryote that isn't a plant, animal, or fungus." It includes "simpler" forms:   no complex development from embryos, no extensive cell differentiation, etc.\nBut, recent studies of protist DNA and ultrastructure show that they are not monophyletic.  The protists are quite diverse and  probably should be classified in several kingdom-level taxa. \nIn other words, the "Kingdom Protista" really represents more than one group.  It contains organisms which are more closely related to members of other kingdoms than they are to other protists.

All of them... or, none of them.\n\nIt all depends upon your notion of "facinating". \n\nCertainly humans have the ability to synthetically "adapt" temporarily to many environments, but there is also a plethora of creatures that are far more specialized than we:\n\nIce Worms live in glacial water\n\nSome tube worms live near ocean vents in amazingly extreme conditions, such animals have been found to transcend (near) boiling to (near) freezing water.\n\nArchaea is a bacteria group that has species which can live off of sulfur (or Iron, or such) and need no oxygen to survive.\n\nHyperthermophiles are another bacteria group within Archaea that survive in temperatures above 100 degrees C (~200 degrees F)\n\nThe Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica, can be Frozen solid (as in an ice cube) for months and survive the ordeal fine.\n\nWater Bears, Tardigrada, live in droplets of water and can survive for tens of years in a hibernate-like state \n\nI would bet this could be a very long list...

Protista is mostly reserved for single-celled eukaryotes, whether they photosynthesize or not, whule Plantae is usually reserved for multicellular, photosynthesizing organisms.

Protozoans are single-celled organisms such as amoeba, euglena, vorticella and others, characterized by possession of a true nucleus in the cell.\n\nBacteria do not have a nucleus.  They are usually placed in the Kingdom Monera. \n\nSpecialists in single-celled organisms have found that the standard system of five kingdoms doesn't fit well with the vast diversity seen in single-celled organisms.  They use as many as 30 or 40 Kingdoms to classify all these critters.  Most of us don't care enough about single-celled critters to bother to learn the bajillions of different varieties.

u must be knowing that all organisms are classified into five kingdoms-monera,protista,anemalia,fungi and alge.\n\nthe MONERA phlum[group] consists of bacteria which are prokaryotic in nature -i.e, the cell doesnot have membrane bound organneles or nucleus.\n\nthe Protista group consists of organisms that are eukaryotic in nature-that is they have well defined organneles.\nthis is one reason that bacteria is kept in two separate groups.

Protista are called the catch-all or left-over kingdom because if an organism is eukaryotic but does not fit in with animals, plants or fungi it is labeled protist. One of the reasons for this is that there is some controversy on how to classify certain organisms, many protists share similarities with the above named kingdoms, for example slime molds used to be classified as Fungus but have been moved to Protista.\n\nWikipedia provides several examples of established protists and recent reclassifications.
