Protists are eukaryotes and live in water or in watery tissues of organisms. Some protists resemble plants in that they produce their own food by photosynthesis, while others resemble animals in consuming organic matter for food. Protist cells are often structurally much more elaborate than the cells of multicellular plants and animals. Protists include the protozoans, most algae, diatoms, oomycetes, and the slime molds. Also called protoctist. Heterotrophic protists are the ones that need to feed on other organic matter. They Cannot produce their own food via photosynthesis or other internal chemical reactions.
The process used by some protists to actively ingest food particles is called Phagocytosis.
Photosynthetic bacteria and protists to name two organisms that have no seeds or spores and can create their own food.
Protists are informally called protozoa.
volvox.
Animal-like because they exhibit some behaviors seen in animals.
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.
Plants, some protists and some bacteria can produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Yes and no. There are producing and consuming protists; which means some will eat their food, and others will make it. There are also some protists, such as Euglena, that both prey on other protists and produce its own.
False. They are plant-like protists.
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.
There are no animals that produce their own food. Only plants do through photosynthesis. There are also some types of protists and fungi that produce their own food.
No animals are producers. Only plants and certain protists are producers.
No animals are producers. Only plants and certain protists can produce food from light.
Like plants, many species of protists can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
