Which is not one of the major phyla of animal like protists?
The major phyla of animal-like protists are Sarcomastigophora, Ciliophora, Apicomplexa, and Zoomastigophora. One phylum that is not part of the animal-like protists is the Euglenozoa, which is a group of flagellated protozoans that are primarily photosynthetic rather than animal-like in nature.
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.
Animal like protists that use structures called?
