ï§Protists use diverse modes of nutrition (continued) âProtists that absorb nutrients directly from the surrounding environment are of two types âFree-living types in the soil that decompose organic dead matter âParasites that live inside the bodies of other organisms, sometimes harming the host.Most protists are single celled â Protists include any eukaryote that is not a plant, animal, or fungus âMost protists are single-celled and microscopic in size âSome are large aggregations or colonies of single-celled individuals; others are multicellular organisms.
