Is a millipede a consumer?
All animals are consumers. Only plants and certain protists are producers.
Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
Are small animal animals and protist producers?
No. All animals are consumers, not producers.However, there are certain protists like dinoflagellates, diatoms and algae that are producers and make energy from sunlight.
What are the Major kindoms of life on planet earth?
There are two answers to this question, depending on where you study. In the United States, a six-kingdom system is taught: animals, plants, fungi, protists, archaebacteria, and eubacteria. In Britain, Australia, or Latin America, a five-kingdom system is used: animals, plants, fungi, protists, and prokaryotes.
Only plants and animals reproduce?
"All living things reproduce" are one of the characteristics that define what is living and what is non-living. Plants and animals reproduce along with bacteria, fungi and protists.
Which group of organisms includes only multicellular heterotrophs?
Protists
Why aren't animal-like protists like animals?
They are not animals because protists just cant be protist
Animals are different from fungiplants and most protists because animals lack what?
Animals lack the ability to reproduce asexually and they can't decompose dead things. Animals are not emo unlike fungi and protists some protists single celled
What is one way protists differ from plant and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.
What is one way that protists differ from plants and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.
What kingdoms composed that three-kingdom classification system used by scientists in the 1800s?
animals, plants, and protists
What is the difference between animals and animal like protists?
Animal-like protists are unicellular~
What animal is a unicellular?
There are no unicellular animals. Amoebas and paramecium are protists.
Who eats water mold?
animals and protists
Which of the following best describes a characteristic that distinguishes animals from protists?
Protists have nucleus and double membranous organells.Bacteria do not have them.
Are protists eucaryotic or prokaryotic?
Protists are eukaryotic cells (eukaryotes). Other eukaryotes are animals, plants and fungi.
What is the major difference between the protist kingdom and the animal kingdom?
The major difference between the protist and the animal kingdom is protists are unicellular protozoans and unicellular & multicellular, but animals are multicellular animals. For example, you could say protists are heterotrophs or autotrophs, and animals are only heterotrophs. However, animals such as sea anemones and coral can be both. So, I would go with these three: 1. Multicellular animals, protists, single celled. However, there are some protists that are multicellular, like brown algae. 2. method of movement: protists - cilia, pseudopods, flagella. animals, muscles and bones. 3. reproduction: animals mainly sexual with egg and sperm, protists binary fission.
