All animal-like protists are heterotrophs (can not make their own food) and are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Animal-like protists are all unicellular.

Plant-like protists are autotrophic (make their own food like plants). Many are unicellular (single cells) but some are many cells.

How are euglenoids similar to animal-like protists?

They are both heterotrophs.


How are protists different from plants?

Animals undergo sexual reproduction, whereas protists have asexual reproduction. Animals are also multi-cellular organisms, protists can be single celled. Some protists are multi-cellular, but they lack specialized tissue (another characteristic often seen in animals).Protists are sometimes called (incorrectly) as "unicellular animals".they are different because one is microscopic and one is not


How animal like protists similar to animals?

They are both heterotrophs.


Are protists heterotroph or autotrophs?

protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, heterotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic.


How are some protists like plants?

Some protists, like algae, are photoautotrophic and can perform photosynthesis like plants. They contain chlorophyll and use sunlight to produce their own food. Additionally, both protists and plants can have cell walls for support and protection.


What is the difference between an protozoa and a protophyta?

Fungi has cell walls that are composed of chitin. Protists lack cell walls entirely.Fungi are sessile. Protists can be sessile or mobile.Fungi are heterotrophic. Protists are heterotrophic, although some are autotrophic (which may suggest that the first plants derived from protists).


What is the difference between any protocist and a plant or animal?

Protists are primarily unicellular organisms, while plants and animals are typically multicellular. Protists belong to a diverse group of eukaryotes that can exhibit characteristics of both plants (like photosynthesis in some algae) and animals (like movement in protozoa), but they do not fit neatly into either category. Additionally, plants are autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis, whereas animals are heterotrophic, relying on consuming other organisms, while many protists can be either, depending on their type.

Is a protozoa like a protist?

Protozoa are basically protists. They are NOT animals or plants; they are often considered as a separate kingdom.

Autotrophic protists have sometimes been referred to as?

Animal-like because they exhibit some behaviors seen in animals.
