1. By the way they get their nutrition
a. photoautotroph (do photosynthesis, have chloroplasts to produce their
own energy like plants)
b. heterotroph (either absorb nutrients like fungi or ingest nutrients like
animals)
c. mixotrophs (combine both ways to obtain nutrition)
2. The way they move
a. with cilia (ciliates)
b. with a flagella (flagellates)
c. by expanding and contracting their cytoplasm (look at a video of ameoba
moving)

Protists that are heterotrophs are called animal like protists, whereas those that produce there own food by photosynthesis are plant like. Those who obtain their food by external digestion are called fungilike protists.
