Protist

An enlarged generic single-celled protist shown as a free-living eukaryotic microbe with a soft oval, irregular, slipper-like, teardrop, or slightly amoeboid translucent body. The cytoplasm is pale gray-green, beige, or pale green with simple internal texture, containing a clearly visible darker round or central nucleus and a few internal organelles such as small vacuoles and bean-shaped mitochondria. The surface may be smooth or bear fine short cilia, a single trailing flagellum, or subtle pseudopod-like extensions, while remaining recognizable as a generic unicellular protist.
