Do this on a Microsoft Word document. Be sure to include your name, period and date on the paper. Include the following details:</p><p> Picture of protist  Include the correct scientific name (genus and species, if given) of your organism  Name of the phylum to which it belongs  Describe 3 traits of this specimen  Economic and environmental impact of the protist</p><p>The Big Question (Task #4) Discuss the environmental and economic impact of members of the Protist kingdom.
