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.
