How does protist cell move?
Most protists move and generate their movement with cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia (false feet).Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular.
What is different between animal- like protists and plant-like protists?
A plant-like protista has chlorophyll in chloroplasts to make energy from the sunlight, and an animal-like protist gets its energy from other organisms. All plant-like protists are producers, while most animal-like protists are consumers, in other words.
What is a protists made of?
Protists are made up of very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
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.
What are true statements of the kingdom Protista?
Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food.Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular. The are all eukaryotes.Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs with cell walls. They also reproduce by forming spores. All fungus-like protists are able to move at some point in their lives. There are essentially three types of fungus-like protists: water molds, downy mildews, and slime molds.Plant-like protists are autotrophic. They can live in soil, on the bark of trees, in fresh water, and in salt water. These protists are very important to the Earth because they produce a lot of oxygen, and most living things need oxygen to survive.Furthermore, these plant-like protists form the base of aquatic food chains. These plant-like protists can be unicellular, multicellular, or live in colonies. The plant-like protists are divided into four basic groups: euglenoids, dinoflagellates, diatoms, and algae.
What do flagellates ciliates and ameodas have in common?
They are all animal-like protists.
Explain why animal-like protists are 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.
What are some differences between animal-like protists and plant-like protists?
The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are mostlyunicellular.Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.
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.
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.
What describes all protist?
The answer is: Protists are organisms that are classified into the kingdom Protista. The protists form a group of organisms that really do not fit into any other kingdom. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.All protists are eukaryotic. That is, all protists have cells with nuclei. In addition, all protists live in moist environments.Protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists can be microscopic or can be over 100 meters (300 feet) long. Some protists are heterotrophs, while others are autotrophs.Since protists vary so much, we will group them into three subcategories: animal-like protists, fungus-like protists, and plant-like protists.
Describe three ways that protist differ from each other?
Protists are the miscellaneous group out of the six kingdom, so as long as they are eukaryotic they are protist. They can be heterotrophs or autotrophs, they can be multicellular or single-celled
