What are some differences between animal-like protists and plant-like protists?

Answer 1

The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are mostlyunicellular.

Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.

Answer 2

A plant-like protista has chlorophyll in chloroplasts to make energy from the sunlight, and an animal-like protist gets its energy from other organisms. All plant-like protists are producers, while most animal-like protists are consumers, in other words.

Answer 3

Animal-like protists are heterotrophic organisms. They are classified by how they move. Plant-like protists are photoautotrophs, which means they contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis. There are also fungus-like protists, which are heterotrophic and absorb nutrients, but they lack cell walls with chitin so they are not considered fungi.

Answer 4

The presence of chlorophyll.

Animal-like protists are usually protozoa, while plant-like protists are usually algae. Protozoans have to find food, while algae make their own food.

Answer 5

Animal-like protists are heterotrophs called protozoa, while plant-like protists are autotrophs called algae.

Answer 6

Animal like protests sometimes lives in other organisms. SOme protests harm their host, and other can be helpful.

Answer 7

Protists are distinguished from other eukaryotes by their simplicity. Protists have much simpler cells.
