Answer:

Kingdom Protista was first described by Antony van Leeuwenhoek in 1675. The kingdom includes the majority of unicellular and eukaryotic organisms.

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotic organisms such that they consist of a well-defined nucleus, membrane-bound cell organelles, and are mostly unicellular. However, some of the protists such as algae perform photosynthesis, some protists exhibit mutualism, and some are parasitic.  

Most of the protists are single cells, but they can exist in multicellular forms, in colonies, and can live as single-cell. Some of the examples include giant kelps, euglena, and diatoms.  

Protists such as alga are capable of performing photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of preparing food in the presence of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to yield oxygen and provide energy.  

Protists are one of the diverse kingdoms in the classification of organisms as it comprises moulds, algae, and protozoa. Protists are not classified as plants, fungi, or animals. For example, the division Bryophyte is considered as a primitive division to plants, whereas kingdom Moneran is considered as most primitive.
