Would a spherical protist or a cylindrical protist have a higher surface area to volume ratio?
A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).
What is Spirogyra Animal like Plant like or Fungus like?
Spirogyra is a water plant, not a protist. It is in the Plantae category. Protists are neither animal or plant, but their own category.
Which of these kingdoms have organisms with plantlike or animallike characteristic?
Kingdom Plantae is probably plantlike. Kingdom Animalia is probably animal-like. That probably didn't answer your question, though. I'm guessing your context was something about fungi or "protist" kingdoms. Mushrooms are actually animal-like because they use chitin, a protein found in insects, rather than cellulose, found in all plants, as a structural protein. They also are heterotrophic (have to eat/suck the life out of stuff). So they are a bit more related to animals like ourselves. In the protist "kingdom", now disbanded, slime molds resemble fungi and animals somewhat, amoebas/ciliates resemble animals, and of course algae(including seaweed!) resemble plants.
Why are plant cells selected to demonstrate plasmolysis rather than animal cells?
Plant cells are selected to demonstrate plasmolysis rather than animal cells. This because thy have the ability to absorb water through endosmosis unlike animal cells which would burst.
What makes protist animal-like?
Not all of them are. But the ones refered to as this are usually called this because they do not produce their own energy (i.e. Autotrophic...Photosynthesis) but rather actively hunt prey to get energy. Which is what animals do, so they are animal-like in that manner.

What was the first born animal on earth?
Awkwardly worded question seeing as life evolves from generation to generation classifying something as an animal rather than an animal-like protist is rather difficult. Most scientists however, can assume that animals evolved from flagellated protists and that the most primitive animal we know of is the sponge since it has no symmetry nor true tissue.

A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).
