Plant-like protists are autotrophs. This means that they produce their own food. They perform photosynthesis to produce sugar by using carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from sunlight, just like plants. Unlike plants, however, plant-like protists do not have true stems, roots, or leaves.

How are plants animals and protist similar and different?
they are different cause to even an amateur observer of cell,many of differences between those of plants,animals,and protists are obvious.But trying to how they are similar but y'all show me the answer right you keep popping answers for me to click but i already put a answer in
What is one way that protists differ from plants and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.
What produces oxygen other than plants?
Algae, protists, phytoplankton and bacteria.
Why do you study protists?
Protists are a fairly recent classification for organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. It can be considered the "junk drawer" of living things. Protists are very interesting, because they are almost like the things they are similar to, but not quite. Amobea, a protozoan or animal-like protist, share many characteristics with animals but are not animals because they are unicellular (one-celled).
How are protists different from plants?
Animals undergo sexual reproduction, whereas protists have asexual reproduction. Animals are also multi-cellular organisms, protists can be single celled. Some protists are multi-cellular, but they lack specialized tissue (another characteristic often seen in animals).Protists are sometimes called (incorrectly) as "unicellular animals".they are different because one is microscopic and one is not
How are protists and plants similar and how they differ?
They are Eukaryotes
How are protists and plants similar and how are they different?
Protists and plants are similar because there euckaryotic.But they are different beacuse The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are always unicellular. Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.
How plantlike protists are similar to plants?
They can create photosynthesis to make their own food.

Are protists and bacteria alike?
In one way, yes. Both bacteria and most protists are single-celled organisms. However, protists are more genetically and internally similar to animals and plants, because they have a cell nucleus, which bacteria do not have.
In what ways are diatoms dinoflagellates and other plantlike protists similar to plants?
they can make photosynthesis to make thier own food.
Why might someone confuse protists with plants and how are they different?
protists are unicellular
What is one way that protists differ from plants and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.
What stops scientist from classifying plantlike protists as plants?
Plant like protists cannot be classified as plants because unlike plants, some plant like protists use chemicals to produce food which makes the protists look different colors.
Are plants and protists the same?
No. Plants and protists each belong to, and make up, two different taxonomic kingdoms: Plantae and Protista.
