the animal like protist which is parasitic- Entaamoeba.
The three main types of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime molds (fungus-like protists). Each type of protist has unique characteristics and plays a different ecological role in various environments.
Amoebas are the animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina that use pseudopods for both movement and feeding. These pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to engulf food and propel the organism forward.
pyrrophyta ------------- Pyrrohphyta are a type of dinoflagellate which are a type of flagellated protists and sub-classification of protists. Animal-like protists would be known as eukaryotic organisms. Examples of some of the animal-like protists would be paramecium, amoeba, euglena, vorticella and most of what are historically known as protozoans.
Animal-like protists share characteristics with animals such as being motile, meaning they are capable of moving on their own. Additionally, they can consume food particles by engulfing them, a process known as phagocytosis. Finally, they often possess specialized structures for sensory perception, similar to the sensory organs found in animals.
Characteristics of Protists are: They are unicellular, Eukaryotes, that is they are complex-they have one or more nuclei(micro and macro), and organelles to carry out life processes, They are the simplest organisms to have a nucleus, They have animal like, plant like, or fungus like characteristics, Some have animal like and plant like characteristics, They can be heterotrophic, autotrophic, or some can be both, They reproduce sexually and asexually Some are capable of animal like movements(Protozoa)
They are holozoic or parasitic.
Animal-like protists are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrition by ingesting organic matter or other organisms. They can be categorized as parasitic, saprophytic, or predatory depending on how they obtain their food.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
They are holozoic or parasitic.

Animal-like protists are unicellular~
Protists are free living.
Animal-like protists live in moist and damp places
Protists can have both positive and negative effects on the animal they live in. Some protists can form mutualistic relationships with animals, providing benefits like aiding in digestion or protecting against pathogens. However, other protists can be parasitic and harm the animal by causing infections or diseases.
