Protists are grouped into 3 general categories: 1  animal-like - referred to as protozoans (pro means 'first,' and zo refers to 'animals'..the first animals) 2  plant-like - referred to as algae. 3  fungus-like - referred to as slime molds and water molds.
The Protista Kingdom lies between the Monera Kingdom and the Plantae Kingdom; most protists are still single-celled like bacteria, but their cells are more complex. Like bacteria, not all protists are autotrophic; however, almost all protists that do engage in photosynthesis have some type of chlorophyll.he Monera Kingdom (which is divided into two kingdoms, the Eubacteria and Archeobacteria) are microscopic, single-celled organisms that are the simplest known forms of life.
