What are the ways within which microbiologists classify protists?

• Microbiologists classify protists by the way they look. Some of them are green in color, while others are clear.
• Microbiologist classify protists by observing their method of obtaining energy.
• Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move. Some protists use cilia to move, while some other use cytoplasmic streaming or flagellum.
• Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move, and the protists method of obtaining energy.
