help with starcraft protoss defenses?

im a little new to starcraft so i had some questions about it in general, mainly dealing with the protoss. whats the best way for protoss to fend off air units, specifically mutas and guardians? and this is rather random, but if you had 16 zealots or marines or w/e, and then you had two pylons/supply bunkers shot down, what would happen to those units? thanks

1. For Protoss defense use the Photon Cannons. These are best used by placing a Pylon and 3-4 Photon Cannons in front of it. Doing this a few times in a row should keep your base safe from both air and ground units as well as providing a way to block areas where you don't want enemy units. Carriers are also another good way guard against air/ground units however they take longer to build (120 compared to 40 for the Cannons) as well as requiring more additional buildings (Stargate and Fleet Beacon) Stalkers and Phoenix are also suggested for defense against air units. There is a unit count in the corner that allows you to see your current units vs. the total amount of units you are allowed. If your unit count turns red (due to destruction of Supply Depots/Pylons/Overlords) you will not be able to construct new units until either your unit count drops below the max number of units you are allowed or you construct additional Supply Depots/Pylons/Overlords.
