What are the characteristic of protist?
Some protists are photosynthetic(like plants),some ingest food(like animals),and some absorb their food(like fungi).
What process is used by some protists to ingest food particles?
The process used by some protists to actively ingest food particles is called Phagocytosis.

What living things that must ingest or absorb their food they can not make food internally?
Heterotrophs
What are living thing that ingest or absorb their food?
All living things need nourishment.
Fungal like protists secrete digestive enzymes and then absorb their food?
Water molds.

All living things need nourishment.
What domains contains organisms that absorb photosynthesize or ingest food and includes protozoans and algae?
protista
Where can protists be found?
Protists are mainly single-celled organisms but some are simple multicellular. They are eukaryotic and mainly heterotrophic. Some are photosynthetic but some absorb and ingest food. They mainly move with flagella and have nuclei. Examples include paramecium and algae.
What characteristic distinguishes plant like protists from other protists?
animal like protist feed off of other organisms plants a absorb suns energy to make its own food
How are fungi different from plants in obtaining food?
Protists have a variety of ways of getting energy, not all of them are decomposers. Those that are typically ingest their food before breaking it down with enzymes. Fungi secrete enzymes into the environment and absorb the released nutrients. If you are asking how fungi are different from fungus-like protists, then the answer is more involved. Fungi synthesize lysine with a different pathway than protists and they have plate-like cristae in their mitochondria as opposed to the tubular cristae found in protists. As well, fungal hyphae growth is the result of a Spitzenkorper, an organization of cellular components including microtubules and vaculoes. Prostists lack this center of organization in their hyphae. As well, fungi have a single, whiplash flagellum that is posteriorly orientated. Prostists show variety in their flagella.
