Protists are a type of life that makes its own food- it doesn't have to rely on other animals or plants to stay alive.
They are called algea
Plantae
I Don't Known the special awnser
plants and plantlike microorganisns are PRODUCERS.
many protist are producers.Like plants,protist producers use the sun's energy to make food through photosyntheiso
No. All animals are consumers, not producers.However, there are certain protists like dinoflagellates, diatoms and algae that are producers and make energy from sunlight.
Protist producers include phytoplankton, algae, and certain types of protists that conduct photosynthesis to produce food. These organisms form the base of many aquatic food chains by converting sunlight into energy.
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.
No, producers can belong to different kingdoms depending on the ecosystem. In addition to plants in the plant kingdom, there are also producers like algae in the protist kingdom and certain bacteria in the monera kingdom.
The smallest microbes in the protist kingdom are generally considered to be the marine algae known as picoplankton. These are single-celled organisms that are just a few micrometers in size. They play a significant role in the marine ecosystem as primary producers.
Some examples of protist producers include phytoplankton, which are responsible for much of the ocean's primary production, and diatoms, which are a type of algae found in both freshwater and marine environments. These protists are capable of undergoing photosynthesis to produce their own food.
They switch back and forth between being producers and heterotrophs.
