What protists use spores to reproduce?

Some protists that use spores to reproduce include slime molds, water molds, and various types of algae. Spores are typically formed as a means of survival under unfavorable conditions, allowing these protists to spread and germinate when conditions become more suitable.


Do protists use binary fission?

Protists do use binary fission. It's up to you to find out the other methods of reproduction now.


Do protists move independently?

Yes, protists can move independently through the use of structures like flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. These structures allow protists to swim, glide, or crawl in their aquatic or moist environments.


Do fungus-like protists use energy?

yes photosynthesis


What stops scientist from classifying plantlike protists as plants?

Plant like protists cannot be classified as plants because unlike plants, some plant like protists use chemicals to produce food which makes the protists look different colors.


Animal like protists that use structures called?

Animal-like protists that use structures called pseudopods to move and feed are known as amoebas. These organisms are able to extend and retract these pseudopods to capture food particles and propel themselves through their environment.


How are monerans and protists?

Monerans or prokaryotes are similar to protists because they are both unicellular. Their modes of locomotion is through the use of structures like flagella and cilia.


Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?

Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.


What is the term for the process protists use to make their own food?
