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
Why do you study protists?
Protists are a fairly recent classification for organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. It can be considered the "junk drawer" of living things. Protists are very interesting, because they are almost like the things they are similar to, but not quite. Amobea, a protozoan or animal-like protist, share many characteristics with animals but are not animals because they are unicellular (one-celled).
Are protists good or bad?
There are different protists which means that they will be good or bad depending on the species. Algae is a good protist while Apicomplexa is a bad one.
What are the three domains of life and their kingdoms?
The domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. The domain Archaea has one kingdom: Archaea. The domain Bacteria has one kingdom: Bacteria. The domain Eukarya has four kingdoms: Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals. There are a total of 3 domains and 6 kingdoms.
Why are prokaryotes divided into different domains?
Protists and bacteria are grouped into different domains because the Protists are more complex and contain a membrane backed nucleus which bacteria lacks. Furthermore, Protists eat bacteria and bacteria decomposes Protists. Bacteria is not made of cells and Protists are photosynthetic.
What is one way protists differ from plant and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.

What are the 4 main groups of eukaryota?
One is plants, I think one is protists, animals, and I think fungi.
Is protists autotrophic or heterotrophic?
protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, hetotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic. aswered by syd1414, aghe 13
How does plant and animals cell differ?
one has legs and plants dont
Only plants and animals reproduce?
"All living things reproduce" are one of the characteristics that define what is living and what is non-living. Plants and animals reproduce along with bacteria, fungi and protists.
Are protists and bacteria alike?
In one way, yes. Both bacteria and most protists are single-celled organisms. However, protists are more genetically and internally similar to animals and plants, because they have a cell nucleus, which bacteria do not have.
What is monara?
Monera is one of the five kingdoms of living organisms; it includes bacteria. The other kingdoms are plants, animals, protists, and fungi.

Are there one celled organisms classified in the plant kingdom?
There are one-celled organisms classified in the plant kingdom. The popular ones are protists which are classified as animals as well as plants.
Are protists heterotroph or autotrophs?
protists can be either one. some protists resemble animals, heterotrophic, while some resemble plants, photosynthic.
Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
