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.

Plant-Like protists get their energy from sunlight.
Fungus-Like protists get their energy from eating other organisms, because they are heterotrophs

How do protista get there food?
Some protista are autotrophic, some heterotrophic. AUTOTROPHS These protista make their food through photosynthesis. HETEROTROPHS A) Feed on [bacteria] through their oral grooves or endocytosis.
What does protista eat?
There food is consumed by photosynthesis
Are organisms in kingdom protista capable of producing their own food?
Yes and no.
Is kingdom protista heterotrophic?
protista can actulally be either. Some can be autotrophic and some can be hetrotrophic.Protista can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. An autotroph is an organism that makes its own food. A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other resources for food, just in case you didn't know. :]
What is definition of protista?
Protista are neither plants nor animals. They have characteristics of both plants and animals. They make their own food just like plants but move around like animals.
