Protists

Protists - A third kingdom, Protists was proposed by E. Haeckel in 1886 to include protozoa, algae, fungi and bacteria. This kingdom thus included both photosynthetic and non photosynthetic forms, some plant like, some animal like, and some having their own specific properties as well as sharing those of both, plants as well as animals. What then distinguished all protists from plants and animals is their relatively simple biological organisation.
