What term describes protists that may be either free living or get nutrients from host organisms?
parasitic
What are 3 ways that protist get energy?
Protists can obtain energy through photosynthesis, like algae and some protists with chloroplasts. They can also feed on organic matter as heterotrophs, breaking down complex molecules into nutrients. Some protists engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms to obtain energy, such as mutualistic relationships with algae or bacteria.
Do bacteria decompose protists?
NO bacteria don't decompose protists instead they both are kept in different domain because protists have membrane-bounded nucleus, which bacterial cells lack.
Are protista heterotrophs or autotrophs?
Both. Rhodophyta is an autotroph while an amoebae is an heterotroph.
Are protists mostly multicellular?
No, most protists are unicellular organisms. Some protists can form colonies or be multicellular, but the majority are single-celled.
Which is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists?
The phylum Arthropoda is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists. Arthropoda belongs to the animal kingdom and includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, while animallike protists are members of the protist kingdom.
What protists saprophyte?
Saprophytic protists are organisms that obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter, such as dead plants and animals. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by breaking down complex organic materials, recycling nutrients, and contributing to soil fertility. Examples of saprophytic protists include certain types of slime molds and water molds. These organisms thrive in damp environments where organic material is abundant.
What term describes that protists that be either free-living or get nutrients from host organisms?
parasitic
What are some heterotrophic eukaryotic forms that absorb nutrients from organic materials in the environment?
Some examples of heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that absorb nutrients from organic materials in the environment include fungi, some protists like amoebas and slime molds, and certain types of plants that have evolved mycorrhizal relationships with fungi to enhance nutrient absorption.

What terms describes protists that may be either free-living or nutrients from host organisms?

Protists that decompose dead organisms like insects are called?
Saprozoic protists. They obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter from dead organisms through the process of decomposition.
Which is the group includes organisms all of which are absorptive in their nutrition?
Fungi are the group of organisms that are all absorptive in their nutrition. They break down organic matter externally and absorb the nutrients. This is in contrast to plants that perform photosynthesis and animals that ingest food.
What are the three main sub-classificationor types of protists?
The three main sub-classifications of protists are protozoa (unicellular organisms that obtain nutrients through ingestion), algae (photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular), and fungus-like protists (heterotrophic organisms with characteristics similar to fungi).
What are 3 ways that protist get energy?
Protists can obtain energy through photosynthesis, like algae and some protists with chloroplasts. They can also feed on organic matter as heterotrophs, breaking down complex molecules into nutrients. Some protists engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms to obtain energy, such as mutualistic relationships with algae or bacteria.
What are animal- like protists also called?
Animal-like protists are also called protozoans. They are unicellular organisms that exhibit animal-like behaviors, such as feeding on other organisms for nutrients and moving using structures like cilia or flagella.
What is one fun fact about protists?
One actual fun fact is that they can conume other organisms for their nutrients, so that means that you are an organism, so that they can consume you! Joking, but they do consum organisms for their nutrients.
