Protists are single and multicellular organisms that are plant-like, animal-like and fungi-like. They evolved from bacteria and represent the intermediate step in the evolution of the other three kingdoms. There are 12 phyla in this kingdom, most of which live in water.
Organisms in the animal kingdom consist of many different species. Some animals most familiar to us are mammals, birds, fish and insects. Animal cells don't have the rigid cell walls that plant cells have. Most animal bodies are made up of organized cells that are specialized to perform a specific task.
