what are protists made of
Protists are made up of very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
Yes, some protists are used in foods. For example, algae such as Spirulina and Chlorella are used as nutritional supplements due to their high protein and nutrient content. Additionally, some protists like yeast are used in the production of bread, beer, and wine.

Protists are single-celled organisms that can be either animal-like, plant-like, or fungus-like. They have various structures such as flagella, cilia, and pseudopods that help them move and capture food. Their simplicity allows for a wide diversity in their characteristics and behaviors.
Protists live in oceans, streams, ponds, and also human and animal digestive tracts.

Both harm the human body

Protists are not known to have a direct benefit to the human body. Some protists can cause diseases in humans, like malaria caused by Plasmodium. However, there are beneficial protists in other organisms, like in the rumen of cows where they help in digesting cellulose.
The FDA classified genetically modified foods as "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods. They do not have to pass human testing prior to being produced and sold to consumers or at any other time.
