Primarily through osmotic ingestion, but some scientists believe that the Krebs cycle is further augmented through external means.

What are the beneficial effects of protists?

it can be food :D


How does Protista get there food?

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.


Is protists autotrophic or heterotrophic?

Protists can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protists are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic protists must obtain their food by consuming other organisms.


What process is used some protists to actively ingest food particles?

The process used by some protists to actively ingest food particles is called Phagocytosis.


What are protists called when they produce their food?

Protists that produce their own food through photosynthesis are called "autotrophic protists." These organisms, such as algae, contain chlorophyll and can convert sunlight into energy, similar to plants. They play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers, forming the base of the food chain.

Where is protists food digested?

food vacuole:)


Do plantlike protists make their own food?

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.


Obtain their food from dead matter?

Fungus-like protists obtain their food from dead matter. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms.


Do protists absorb or ingest food?

absorbs the food!


Is it true that protists that can make their own food are offten called animal-like protists?

False. They are plant-like protists.


Does protists make food?

Yes, there are some protists that can make there own food, that is, they are autotrophs. Some are heterotrophs and much consume nutrients.


What medicines have protists made?

Protists are used in medication that treat blood pressure, digestion problems, ulcers and arthritis. Protists are also used as food additives and are an important part of the food chain.


Name two ways protists get food?

1) producers- get food by photosynthesis 2) heterotrophs- gets food by eating other organism or byproducts 3) parasite- an organism that its off another species (the host) 4) host- another organism from which the parasite takes food and shelter


Do Proists Make Food?

Yes and no. There are producing and consuming protists; which means some will eat their food, and others will make it. There are also some protists, such as Euglena, that both prey on other protists and produce its own.


What process is used by some protists to ingest food particles?

The process used by some protists to actively ingest food particles is called Phagocytosis.
