No, these are photosynthetic, which would classify them as autotrophic.

∙ 6y agoProtista is a kingdom of misfits. It includes a wide variety of microscopic life that doesn't fall into any of the other kingdoms. There are plant-like protists, animal-like protists and even fungus-like protists. They are all eukaryotic, meaning that they have a distinct nucleus and complex organelles within their cells, such as mitochondria and Golgi bodies. So, yes, they are since they do not fit in any other classification.

Why does thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria?
Thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria because chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. During evolution, the cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a host cell eventually became mutually beneficial, leading to the development of chloroplasts. The structural similarity between the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a remnant of this evolutionary relationship.
Do nitrogen fixing bacteria have chloroplasts?
No bacteria have chloroplasts. Plants have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts were originally cyanobacteria -- they are the results of an endosymbiosis between a cyanobacterium and a eukaryote.
Which organism does not carry out photosynthesis?
Most photosynthetic organisms that do not contain chloroplasts are bacteria. Some examples would be green sulfur and non sulfur bacteria which use chlorosomes. Chlorosomes contain light harvesting pigments known as bacteriochlorophylls. Cyanobacteria do not contain chloroplasts but use chlorophyll A and phycobilin photosynthetic pigments.
How is cyanobacteria like algae and land plants?
Although cyanobacteria do not have chloroplasts, they do have thylakoid membrane, where photosynthesis occur.
Which cells contain chloroplasts?
There are only two kinds of cells that contain chloroplasts. The main one is the plant cell. The other one is the cell of cyanobacteria.

The chloroplasts in eukaryotes closely resemble?
The chloroplasts in eukaryotes closely resemble cyanobacteria, as first noted by French scientist Andreas Schimper. Cyanobacteria are bacteria that produce energy for themselves through photosynthesis.
Which organism does not carry out photosynthesis?
Most photosynthetic organisms that do not contain chloroplasts are bacteria. Some examples would be green sulfur and non sulfur bacteria which use chlorosomes. Chlorosomes contain light harvesting pigments known as bacteriochlorophylls. Cyanobacteria do not contain chloroplasts but use chlorophyll A and phycobilin photosynthetic pigments.
What is an organism with chloroplast?
A producer (e.g. a plant) is an organism with chloroplasts. An organism with chloroplasts is a photosynthetic organism. Plants and algea have chloroplasts while some protists also have them.
What organisms in addition to plants do photosynthesis?
cyanobacteria (the probable ancestors of the chloroplasts in plant cells)
Are chloroplasts only found in animal cells?
No, chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and in some bacterical cells such as cyanobacteria. They are where photosynthesis takes place.
Where are Thylakoid sacs are found?
In light dependent reactions.
What photosynthetic organism does not have a chloroplast?
Cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, are bacteria that photosynthesize but do not have chloroplasts.
How is cyanobacteria like algae and land plants?
Although cyanobacteria do not have chloroplasts, they do have thylakoid membrane, where photosynthesis occur.
Which cells contain chloroplasts?
There are only two kinds of cells that contain chloroplasts. The main one is the plant cell. The other one is the cell of cyanobacteria.
What kinds of eukaryotic cell have chloroplasts?
Photosynthetic eukariyotic cells have chloroplasts.Never found in prokariyotes.
