Its really three and they are Cell wall composition, Multicellularity and Photosynthetic pigments
In my research throught out the web and text books, there are a few fungus like protists that are unicellular. Thank you!
The three types of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime molds (fungus-like protists). Each type has unique characteristics and can be found in various environments.
Examples of fungus-like protists include slime molds, water molds, and downy mildews. These protists exhibit characteristics resembling both fungi and protists, such as forming spores for reproduction and possessing cell walls.
You are confused. Fungi is the plural of fungus (just like geese is the same thing as goose, except geese denotates more than one goose). Also, fungi and protists are two different classifications.
Fungus-like protists have filamentous structures that resemble fungal hyphae. Both groups obtain nutrients through absorption rather than photosynthesis. They can reproduce through the formation of spores.
No, brown algae are not fungus-like protists. Brown algae are a type of multicellular, photosynthetic algae that belong to the kingdom Chromista, while fungus-like protists are organisms that display characteristics of both fungi and protists, and belong to the kingdom Protista.
The three main types of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime molds (fungus-like protists). Each type of protist has unique characteristics and plays a different ecological role in various environments.

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).
Yes, the categories animal-like, plant-like, and fungus-like are useful in classifying protists based on their characteristics and behaviors. These categories help to organize and identify the diverse group of protists based on their nutritional mode, mobility, and other defining features.
Fungus-like protists, such as slime molds and water molds, are primarily classified under the kingdom Protista, while true fungi belong to the kingdom Fungi. Fungus-like protists often exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protozoa, such as motility in their life cycle stages, whereas fungi are non-motile and grow through hyphal networks. Additionally, fungus-like protists can reproduce both sexually and asexually, while fungi primarily reproduce through spores. Biochemically, fungi have chitin in their cell walls, whereas many fungus-like protists have cellulose or other polysaccharides.
animal, plant and fungus
Fungus-like protists move, that is the biggest difference. Both of them are heterotrophs, eukaryotic, and both use spores to reproduce.
Myxomycota and Oomycota
