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)
they are classified by whether they are photosynthetic, have a flagelium and bvy if they are single or multicellular
one way to classify them are according to the way they obtain nutrition. Protists that are heterotrophs are called animal like protists, whereas those that produce there own food by photosynthesis are plant like.
Because algae are aquatic plants while ferns are not.
Protista, with its peculiar nature, has varieties of ways to gain nutrition. Some like algae and planktons are autotrophic, while animal-like protists such as paramecium and stentor are heterotrophic. Still others are classified as being mixotrophic, which means that they are both capable of obtaining food from others and from inorganic sources.
There is no longer a Kingdom of Protists. They are not a monophyletic group (clade). So, the answer is some do some don't. Algae (a type of photosynthetic protist) tend to have a cell wall. Protozoa (the animal like protists) do not. Most single cell protozoa have a pellicle to protect the cell.
Amoebas are classified as protists.
No, protists are not classified in the phylum Zoomastigina. Zoomastigina is an outdated term that was used to describe flagellated protists. Protists are now classified into multiple phyla based on genetic and structural characteristics.
They are classified under the Protists where they get nutrients from photosynthesis.
Protists
They classified protists into the animal kingdom because they shared more similarities. Protists became their own kingdom in the 1830s. The protists kingdom expanded in 1845.

Protists are either unicellular of multicellular organisms. Different types of protists are classified by the characteristics that resemble those of fungi, plants, and animals.

Protists are classified based on their mode of nutrition, cell structure, and reproductive strategies. They are typically grouped into three main categories: plant-like protists (algae), animal-like protists (protozoa), and fungus-like protists. Additional classification may include characteristics such as locomotion, presence of cell walls, and habitat.
one way to classify them are according to the way they obtain nutrition. Protists that are heterotrophs are called animal like protists, whereas those that produce there own food by photosynthesis are plant like.
No, zooplankton are not protists. Zooplankton are a diverse group of small animals that drift in aquatic environments, while protists are eukaryotic microorganisms that can be both single-celled or multicellular, but are not classified as animals.
