Obtain their food from dead matter?
Fungus-like protists obtain their food from dead matter. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms.
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.
How do animal like protists get food?
they get there food by moving place to place to obtain their food.
Is it true that protists that can make their own food are offten called animal-like protists?
False. They are plant-like protists.
Why are protists that obtain food by photosynthesis important for other organisms?

Protists are classified according to?
one way to classify them are according to the way they obtain nutrition. Protists that are heterotrophs are called animal like protists, whereas those that produce there own food by photosynthesis are plant like.
Does protistd make their food?
Only the plant like protists
Why protists that obtain food by photosynthesis are so important for other organisms?

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.
What is an plant-like protists classification?
they make their own food during Photsynthesis.
How are protists classified?
1. By the way they get their nutrition a. photoautotroph (do photosynthesis, have chloroplasts to produce their own energy like plants) b. heterotroph (either absorb nutrients like fungi or ingest nutrients like animals) c. mixotrophs (combine both ways to obtain nutrition) 2. The way they move a. with cilia (ciliates) b. with a flagella (flagellates) c. by expanding and contracting their cytoplasm (look at a video of ameoba moving)
How do animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists?
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
