Do plantlike protists make their own food?
Animal-like protists do not make their own food, they are consumers, which are things that consume (take in) food. Plant-like protists can, because they use photosynthesis:the process in which a plant (including plant-like protists) makes its own food with sunlight.
How are protists and plants similar?
Plant-like protists are autotrophs. This means that they produce their own food. They perform photosynthesis to produce sugar by using carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from sunlight, just like plants. Unlike plants, however, plant-like protists do not have true stems, roots, or leaves.
What are some differences between animal-like protists and plant-like protists?
The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are mostlyunicellular.Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.
Are protista heterotrophs or autotrophs?
Both. Rhodophyta is an autotroph while an amoebae is an heterotroph.
What are the harmful effects of plant like protists?
idont what is the answer i need this one please answer !!

How do animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists?
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
How do animal -like protists differ from plant-like protists?
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
Are plant like protists unicellular or multicllular?
They are muticellular protists. Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta are examples of these types. The have holdfasts instead of roots, stipes instead of stems and blades instead of leaves, but they do preform photosynthesis and are autotrophs.
Why are members of phylum Euglenophyta classified as plant like protists how do they move?
MOstly unicellular photosynthetic autotrophs that have characteristics similar to green plants or fungi.
Is protista autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
Is volvox animal like protists or plant like protists?
Plant like protist
Describe three ways that protist differ from each other?
Protists are the miscellaneous group out of the six kingdom, so as long as they are eukaryotic they are protist. They can be heterotrophs or autotrophs, they can be multicellular or single-celled
When are plant like protists like plants?
Plant-like protists contain chloroplasts, just as plant cells do.
