False!Animal-like protist are grouped by how they move.
true
No. Flagellates use their flagella to filter feed. Other protists can engulf food and digest it internally.

Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.
In order to digest food with fiber, you need to have the enzyme cellulase that can break down the bonds between the two cellulose molecules, or have a symbiotic organism that does. Such symbiotic relationship is the case for termites. Inside the intestines of termites, there are small protists known as Trichonymphathat digests wood.
Protists are classified into three major groups based on their type of nutrition. Protozoa, or animal-like protists, are heterotrophs that ingest or absorb their food. Algae, or plant like protists, are autotrophs that carry out photosynthesis. Slime moulds and water moulds are fungus-like protists that are also heterotrophs -NB
Animal-like protists do not make their own food, they are consumers, which are things that consume (take in) food. Plant-like protists can, because they use photosynthesis:the process in which a plant (including plant-like protists) makes its own food with sunlight.
