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.

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
Autotrophic protists have sometimes been referred to as?
Animal-like because they exhibit some behaviors seen in animals.
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 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
Are turtles eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic. Just remember EU sounds like YOU. All animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotic.

How are euglenoids similar to animal-like protists?
They are both heterotrophs.
How animal like protists similar to animals?
They are both heterotrophs.
Are protists heterotroph or autotrophs?
protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, heterotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic.
What characteristic that animal like protists share with animals?
They can both be multicellular, they can both be hetrotrophs, and they are both eukaryotic.
What is the difference between an protozoa and a protophyta?
Fungi has cell walls that are composed of chitin. Protists lack cell walls entirely.Fungi are sessile. Protists can be sessile or mobile.Fungi are heterotrophic. Protists are heterotrophic, although some are autotrophic (which may suggest that the first plants derived from protists).
Autotrophic protists have sometimes been referred to as?
Animal-like because they exhibit some behaviors seen in animals.
Is a protozoa like a protist?
Protozoa are basically protists. They are NOT animals or plants; they are often considered as a separate kingdom.
Why aren't animal-like protists like animals?
They are not animals because protists just cant be protist
What makes protist animal-like?
Not all of them are. But the ones refered to as this are usually called this because they do not produce their own energy (i.e. Autotrophic...Photosynthesis) but rather actively hunt prey to get energy. Which is what animals do, so they are animal-like in that manner.
How are plant like protists harmful?
Phytoplankton which is a plant like protist can be fatal to animals and other plants. Algal blooms that are dead the bacteria decomposes the algae and uses the oxygen which can suffocate organisms around it.
