Are all plantlike protists always eutrophic?

No, not all plantlike protists are eutrophic. Eutrophication refers to an excess of nutrients in the environment, which can lead to algal blooms. Plantlike protists can be found in various types of habitats, not just eutrophic ones.


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.


Do plantlike protists make their own food?

Yes, plantlike protists, such as algae, are capable of photosynthesis, which means they can make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. They contain chlorophyll like plants, enabling them to convert light energy into chemical energy for growth and survival.


Protists are classified on the basis of their?

Protists are classified based on their cell structure, locomotion, and mode of nutrition. This classification system includes categories such as flagellates, ciliates, amoebas, and algae, which are distinguished by their unique characteristics and behaviors. Each group of protists exhibits a different combination of these features, aiding in their classification.


How are protists similar to animals?
