animal-like groups
euglenoids
heterotrophic
protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, heterotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
heterotrophs
Protists can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protists are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic protists must obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
If an organism in Kingdom Protista is heterotrophic, it is most likely in the subkingdom Algae. Algae are photosynthetic protists and are considered autotrophic, but there are some heterotrophic species within this group as well.
Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of protists that can be both photosynthetic and heterotrophic. Some species are capable of photosynthesis using chlorophyll, while others rely on feeding on organic matter to obtain nutrients.
Amoeba and Paramecium are examples of heterotrophic protists that are capable of movement. Amoebas move by extending their pseudopods, while Paramecium move using cilia.
Freshwater protists with two flagella that can be photosynthetic or heterotrophic are called euglenoids. They are single-celled organisms that can switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition depending on environmental conditions.
Two major types of nutrition in protists are autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic protists can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophic protists obtain their nutrition by consuming organic matter or other organisms.
