Yes in fact, may protists do undergo photosynthesis. For example, the euglena. It is what is called photoautotrophic because it uses light as an energy source (photo-) and its carbon source is CO2 (-autotrophic).

How do protozoa and alagae differ in the way they obtain energy?

Protozoa eat food to obtain energy and algae use photosynthesis.


Which protozoa can perform photosynthesis?

Dinoflagellates and some species of euglenoids are protozoa that can perform photosynthesis due to the presence of chlorophyll or other pigments in their cells. These organisms can use sunlight to produce energy, similar to plants.


What are the features of a Protozoa?

eukaryot unicellular size 10 to 52 micrometers but can be large to 1 milimeter but xenophyophores are protozoa of size 20 centimeter having plant like behaviour of photosynthesis


How can you tell the difference between algae and protozoa?

Algae are photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, while protozoa are single-celled organisms that typically feed on organic matter. Algae are usually green, brown, or red in color, while protozoa can vary in shape and size. Additionally, algae have a cell wall, while protozoa do not.


What do protozoa eat?

Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic. Heterotrophic protozoa feed on organic matter like bacteria, algae, and other small organisms. Autotrophic protozoa produce their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight to generate energy.


What protozoa which can feed itself by either absorbing food or by photosynthesis?

Euglena is a protozoa that can either absorb nutrients like a heterotroph or perform photosynthesis like an autotroph. It has chlorophyll that enables it to produce its own food using sunlight, but it can also ingest organic matter if necessary.


Protozoa are heterotrophic This means they?

rely on other organisms for nutrients instead of producing their own through photosynthesis. Protozoa obtain their food by ingesting other organisms or by absorbing organic matter from their environment.
