How are protists like both plants and animals?
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.
Which kingdoms organism have no cell walls?
Animal cells do not have cell walls. Many animal-like protists also lack cell walls.
What is the only kingdom that consists of organisms without the cell wall?
Animal cells do not have cell walls. Many animal-like protists also lack cell walls.
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).
Is animal like protists a decomposer?
Protozoa is a herbivore, but also a decomposer in the food chain.
What protists move by means of many short-hair like projections?
Ciliates are protists that move by the means of many short hair-like projections, called cilia.
Do a live plant or animal may be made of only one cell?
Part of the definition of both the plant and animal kingdom is multicellularity. Technically, no plant or animal under the current definition can be unicellular. However, the protist kingdom contains one-celled organisms with plant or animal characteristics. In fact, animal-like protists and plant-like protists used to be referred to as animals or plants. Many types of green algae are single-celled, as are amoeba and paramecia.
Zooflagellates may live in lakes and steams?
Amoebas are zooflagellates and live in fresh water. There are about 15 phyla of these animal like protists and many are fresh water types.
What protists moves by means of many short hair- like projects?
ciliates
Are some protists many-celled?
yes. like dinoflagellata.
How many Kingdoms of life are there?
5 that I know of. Animal (animalia), Plant (plantae), Fungi, Protists and Monera
What are 10 examples of fungi like protists?
These protists share many characteristivd with Fungi. However, because of their differences from Fungi they are classified as protists. Funguslike protists play a valuable role in the ecosystem. They break down dead plant and animal matter, making the nutrients from these dead orgainsms available for living organisms. While some slime molds and water molds are benefical, many others can be very harmful. Many fuguslike protsts attack and consume living plants.
