BREAKING THE MOULD
Protista and the moulds may sound like the name of a very loud garage band, but they’re actually a group of amazing organisms that silently rule the world.
Protista comprise a broad group of single- and multicellular organisms, including brown kelp and mould, which are not plant, fungus or animal but possess characteristics from each group.
They have a cell wall that encases their organelles, or mitochondria, which take in nutrients and in some cases chloroplasts that convert sun into sugar.
