What are the plant-like protists?

Answer 1

A plant like protist is a Eukaryotic organism that lives in a wet or moist environment. It has a cell wall and contains a green pigment, chlorophyll. Chloropyll helps the plant like protist produce its own food through photosynthesis. Most plant like protists are autotrophs, but some are partly heterotrophs. They are known as algae. Examples of plant like protists are dinoflagellates, euglenoids, diatoms, red algae, brown algae, and green algae.

Answer 2

Algae, the plant-like protists They include many single-celled organisms that are also considered protozoa, such as Euglena, which many believe have acquired chloroplasts through secondary endosymbiosis. Others are non-motile, and some (called seaweeds) are truly multicellular, including members of the following groups: Chlorophytes green algae, are related to higher plants e.g., Ulva Rhodophytes red algae e.g., Porphyra Heterokontophytes brown algae, diatoms, etc. e.g., Macrocystis The green and red algae, along with a small group called the glaucophytes, appear to be close relatives of other plants, and so some authors treat them as Plantae despite their simple organization. Most other types of algae, however, developed separately. They include the haptophytes, cryptomonads, dinoflagellates, euglenids, and chlorarachniophytes, all of which have also been considered protozoans. Note some protozoa host endosymbiotic algae, as in Paramecium bursaria or radiolarians, that provide them with energy but are not integrated into the cell.

Answer 3

Volvox and spirogyra --> Someone else wrote this, not the answer to your question. These are green algae, from phylum chlorophyta. Volvox are small, green circular algae, spirogyra, are long green strand-like algae. Plant like protsists and algae are similar. Now, all plant like protists are called: Protophyta. While animal like protists are Ptotozoa. (There are also fungus-like protists :) ).

Answer 4

Plant-like protists include algae and euglenoids, which can perform photosynthesis like plants. They are single-celled organisms that can be found in aquatic environments and can range in size from microscopic to seaweeds. These protists play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as food for other organisms.

Answer 5

They are fungus-hiles in their nutrit and in that they absorb nutrients from their environment.

Answer 6

Algea.
