Animal-like protists do not make their own food, they are consumers, which are things that consume (take in) food. Plant-like protists can, because they use photosynthesis:the process in which a plant (including plant-like protists) makes its own food with sunlight.

What are protists that contain chlorophyll and can make their own food called?

Protists that contain chlorophyll and produce their own food through photosynthesis are known as algae. Algae can vary in size from microscopic unicellular organisms to large multicellular seaweeds. They play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers.


How are protists like both plants and animals?

All animal-like protists are heterotrophs (can not make their own food) and are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Animal-like protists are all unicellular. Plant-like protists are autotrophic (make their own food like plants). Many are unicellular (single cells) but some are many cells.

Why is sunlight important to plant like protist?

Sunlight is important for photosynthesis in plants and protists, where they convert light energy into chemical energy for growth and metabolism. Without sunlight, these organisms would not be able to produce their own food and would not survive. Additionally, sunlight helps regulate important biological processes such as reproduction and development in these organisms.
