In your paper mention the following:

1. Name and scientific name of your chosen protist. If your organism does not have a "scientific name" then mention that in your paper.

2. Brief describe the physical characteristics of your chosen protists.

- size, shape, color, type of protist, etc

3. What are the protist's natural habitat(s)? What make that habitat suitable for the protist?

4. How does the protist move and gets its food?
