All protists are eukaryotic (have a nucleus), most live in water. They are the "ancestor organisms" because they were the first organisms ever to exist.
Protists are simply organisms that don't fit into any of the other kingdoms.
The great diversity of form, habitat, mode of nutrition, and life history exhibited by eukaryotes suggests they evolved several times from various groups of prokaryotes. This makes the Protista a polyphyletic group. Eukaryotes are generally larger, have a variety of membrane-bound organelles, greater internal complexity than prokaryotic cells, and has a secialized method of cell division (meiosis) that is a prelude to true sexual reproduction. Protists might be viewed as a group from which the other eukaryotic kingdoms evolved.

Heterotrophs
How do monerans differ from organisms in the other four kingdoms?
Monerans, primarily represented by bacteria and archaea, differ from organisms in the other four kingdoms (plants, animals, fungi, and protists) primarily in their cellular structure and organization. They are unicellular and prokaryotic, lacking a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while the other kingdoms consist of eukaryotic organisms with complex cell structures. Additionally, monerans reproduce asexually through binary fission, whereas many organisms in the other kingdoms can reproduce sexually or asexually. These fundamental differences in cellular organization and reproductive methods set monerans apart from the other kingdoms.
How do unicellular algae get their food how does this differ from the way most animal like protists get their food?
Unicellular algae primarily obtain their food through photosynthesis, using chlorophyll to capture sunlight and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In contrast, most animal-like protists, such as amoebas and paramecia, are heterotrophic and acquire their food by ingesting other organisms or organic matter, either through phagocytosis or absorption. This fundamental difference highlights the distinction between autotrophic organisms like algae and heterotrophic organisms like many protists.
What are animal- like protists also called?
Animal-like protists are also called protozoans. They are unicellular organisms that exhibit animal-like behaviors, such as feeding on other organisms for nutrients and moving using structures like cilia or flagella.
How protists differ from other eukaryotic organisms?
They are less complex
How do protists differ from other organism?
They are less complex
Why have protists been harder to study than other organisms?
Many protists do not leave fossils:)
What is the symbiotic relationship of protists?
A mutualistic (where both organisms benefit) relationship can be found between the Stentor and Algae, where the Stentor can get food from the Algae and the Algae can be protected from other organisms.
Animallike protists absorb nutrients from other organisms or organic materials true or false?
True. Animallike protists are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from other organisms or organic materials in their environment.
What are the types of animal like protists?
The only organisms that like to eat protists that I have heard of are other species of protists and people fond of Japanese cooking.
What is the one unifying characteristic of protists?
The one unifying characteristic of protists is that they are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This sets them apart from prokaryotic organisms like bacteria.
What do amoeba eat on?
Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists
