According to new system of classification as given by Whittaker 1969 unicellular animals are included in a seprated kingdom known as protista and or known as protozoans i.e. single cell. The animal kingdom consists of multicellular organisms. The multicellular organisms are called metazoans and their cells are capable of performing all the essential activities of life.

Why are protists and monerans placed in separate kingdoms?

Protists are placed in the kingdom Protista because they are Eukaryotic organisms with more complex internal structures like a nucleus and organelles. Monerans, on the other hand, are placed in the kingdom Monera because they are prokaryotic, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This fundamental difference in their cellular structure is why they are placed in separate kingdoms.


Why are algae and protozoa placed in the same kingdom?

Heterotrophic protists are called?

Protists are eukaryotes and live in water or in watery tissues of organisms. Some protists resemble plants in that they produce their own food by photosynthesis, while others resemble animals in consuming organic matter for food. Protist cells are often structurally much more elaborate than the cells of multicellular plants and animals. Protists include the protozoans, most algae, diatoms, oomycetes, and the slime molds. Also called protoctist. Heterotrophic protists are the ones that need to feed on other organic matter. They Cannot produce their own food via photosynthesis or other internal chemical reactions.

What is a significant difference between a protist and other eukaryotic organisms?

One significant difference is that protists are mostly unicellular, while other eukaryotic organisms can be either unicellular or multicellular. Additionally, protists exhibit a wide range of diverse characteristics and lifestyles compared to other eukaryotes.
