Many protists vary from one another, the answer to this question varies as well. Protists that are similar to animals do not have cell walls at all. Plant- and fungi-like protists have cell walls that are similar to plants. Other protists have a unique cell wall that is different from cell walls seen in other eukaryotic kingdoms.

Yes, protists have cell walls.

Protists cell walls are made of composed cellulose, protein strips , and silica

For some protists, we can even found components like pectin on the cell walls

hope this helps
