What else can I help you with?
What characteristic would you use to place a protist with a cell wall in to either the plantlike or funguslike protists?
You would place a protist with a cell wall in the plantlike group, as most plantlike protists, such as algae, have cell walls made of cellulose. Funguslike protists, such as slime molds, do not typically have cell walls composed of cellulose.
How are the different types of protist classified?
Protists are either unicellular of multicellular organisms. Different types of protists are classified by the characteristics that resemble those of fungi, plants, and animals.
Why do grizzly bears belong in animalia?
Well, are they green organisms that make food from sunlight? No - then they can't be plants. Are they microscopic? Then they can't be protists or bacteria. Are they plantlike but without chlorophyll? No - then they aren't fungi either. There's nothing else a bear could be besides an animal.
Are protists unicelluar?
Most protists are unicellular. Protists such as algae and slime molds can be either multicellular or unicellular.
Is protists autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Protists can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protists are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic protists must obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
Protists are simple animals made up 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.
Are protists heterotroph or autotrophs?
protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, heterotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic.
Are protists multicelled?
either they are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues.
Can protists be parasites or decomposers?
Yes, protists can be parasites, living off a host organism. Some protists are known to cause diseases in animals and humans. Protists can also act as decomposers, breaking down organic matter in ecosystems and recycling nutrients.
What kingdom did scientists add to create a classification for organisms that had characteristics of both plants and animals?
Scientists added the kingdom Protista to classify organisms that had characteristics of both plants and animals. Protists are typically unicellular eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as either plants or animals due to their unique characteristics.
What term describes protists that may be either free living or get nutrients from host organisms?
parasitic
What are two major types of nutrition in protists?
Two major types of nutrition in protists are autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic protists can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophic protists obtain their nutrition by consuming organic matter or other organisms.
