One-celled animal-like protists are known as?
Protists are in the Kingdom Protista and can be known as unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. Animal like protists are called protozoa.
How can bacteria and protists be distinguished from one another?
Only protists use photosynthesis, bacteria don't.
How does Protista get there food?
Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.
Which are the smallest protists?
bacteria
Why are protists considered advanced?
There are many ways in which protists are more advanced than bacteria. Protists possess a nucleus. Protists can also be unicellular or multicellular while bacteria is only unicellular.

Differences between bacteria and protists?
Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).
Are protists bacteria?
No. Protists have nuclear membranes in their cells whereas bacteria do not.The kingdom Protists include bacteria. This kingdom includes other organisms besides bacteria. Just as we belong to the animal group.
How can bacteria and protists be distinguished from one another?
Only protists use photosynthesis, bacteria don't.
What produces oxygen other than plants?
Algae, protists, phytoplankton and bacteria.

How do protists differ from bacteria and archaea?
Protists and bacteria are two completely different kingdoms of life. Protists are eukaryotic, meaning that their DNA is stored in chromosomes within a nucleus. Bacteria are prokaryotic, and do not have nuclei. Also, protists are sort of like the miscellaneous category. There are plantlike cells (such as diatoms) and animal-like cells (such as ameoba). Bacteria and protists also have different shapes to their cells and different organelles.
Is alge bacteria?
No they are protists.
Which are the smallest protists?
bacteria
Compare and contrast bacteria and protists?
Baceria is prokaryotic Protists are eukaryotic Protist have cytoskeleton Bacteria do not
Why are protists considered advanced?
There are many ways in which protists are more advanced than bacteria. Protists possess a nucleus. Protists can also be unicellular or multicellular while bacteria is only unicellular.
What group of organisms is the ancestral group to all members of the Plant Kingdom?
The protists, specifically the plant-like protists such as algae.
