Stentor uses cilia around the oral groove to pull food into
the food vacuole

Euglena is especially interesting since it is green and photosynthetic and has
flagella

The contractile vacuole is a structure which helps the organism remove excess water from its body

Some have a proboscis, like an elephants trunk, which helps in
capturing prey .

Some protists have shells; this one is extending pseudopods from
its shell (test)

Vorticella has a stalk which can contract to move it rapidly away from a disturbance.

Bursaria are easy to identify because of their
unusual shape

Didinium has a horse-shoe shaped nucleus; also note the cilia and
other organelles.

Reproduction
Some protists form colonies like these algae
Single celled or multi-celled? The volvox is a colonial organism. Here we see daughter cells before they burst out of the mother to become independent colonies of their own.
