Are protists animals?
No. Animals are multicellular. Protists are unicellular.
What are some examples of common Protists?
Some protists include algae, diatoms, paramecium, rotifers, flagellates, amoeba, and giardia. Other protists include trichomonadida, euglena, trichonympha, ceratium, and dinoflagellates.
What group of organisms is the ancestral group to all members of the Plant Kingdom?
The protists, specifically the plant-like protists such as algae.
Are animal-like protist producers?
No, I believe not. There are protists that are producers (autotrophs). This branch of protists are called Algae. However, the branch that you are talking about is Protozoans, and they are heterotrophic, so they need to take food in from the environment. So no, heterotrophs are not producers, so animal-like protists are not producers.
Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
Animallike protists absorb nutrients from other organisms or organic materials true or false?
true
Which is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists?
There are four major phyla's of animal-like protists. These four are sarcodina, ciliophora, sporozoa, mastigophora. With ciliophora being the main one.
Can protists be seen with a compound microscope?
Yes
True or false most protists are microscope?
This is true

You observe a protists under a microscope it moves by forming temporary bulges of the cytoplasm what type of protists is it?
An amoebae moving by using it's pseudopodia.
What piece of equipment should be used to transfer a protists onto a microscope slide?
forceps
Who 1st saw protists?
Most likely Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, inventor of the microscope
When using a microscope the specimen appears larger and...?
You get to see bacteria,protists, germs in general, etc.
Is an amoeba all the same colour?

What are the three subkingdoms of protista?
Protists are classified into three major groups based on their type of nutrition. Protozoa, or animal-like protists, are heterotrophs that ingest or absorb their food. Algae, or plant like protists, are autotrophs that carry out photosynthesis. Slime moulds and water moulds are fungus-like protists that are also heterotrophs -NB
