Do plantlike protists make their own food?
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.

All animal-like protists are heterotrophs (can not make their own food) and are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Animal-like protists are all unicellular. Plant-like protists are autotrophic (make their own food like plants). Many are unicellular (single cells) but some are many cells.
