they help you digest food.
False!Animal-like protist are grouped by how they move.
true
No. Flagellates use their flagella to filter feed. Other protists can engulf food and digest it internally.

The food vacuole in protists, including Stentor, is analogous to the stomach in higher organisms. It functions to ingest, digest, and store food particles within the cell. The food vacuole helps provide nutrients and energy for the protist's survival and growth.
In order to digest food with fiber, you need to have the enzyme cellulase that can break down the bonds between the two cellulose molecules, or have a symbiotic organism that does. Such symbiotic relationship is the case for termites. Inside the intestines of termites, there are small protists known as Trichonymphathat digests wood.
Animallike protist pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that allow the protist to move and capture prey. They are used for both locomotion and feeding, as the protist can extend and retract them to change direction or engulf food particles.
Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.
