An amoeba is considered an animal-like protist because it is a single-celled organism that moves and feeds on other organisms, like animals do. Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are usually photosynthetic organisms, like algae.
Euglena is a protist that exhibits both plant-like and animal-like characteristics. It can perform photosynthesis like a plant in the presence of light, but also actively hunts for prey using its flagellum.

Part of the definition of both the plant and animal kingdom is multicellularity. Technically, no plant or animal under the current definition can be unicellular. However, the protist kingdom contains one-celled organisms with plant or animal characteristics. In fact, animal-like protists and plant-like protists used to be referred to as animals or plants. Many types of green algae are single-celled, as are amoeba and paramecia.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Animal like protist. Protozoa means primitive animal.
The amoeba is an animal protist. There is not any specific distinction between plants and amoebas.

an amoeba, or a paramecium

Animal like Protist, Fungus like Protist, and Plant like Protist
Amoeba is an animal-like, one-celled organism.
Amoeba :O
An animal like protist (protozoan) are called animal like because the way they get food is by consuming or ingesting it. They are unicellular protists which is why they cannot say they are animals. An example of an animal like protist is an amoeba. Animal like protists have no cell wall, and they have a flagella. Hope this helps!
An example of an animal-like protist is a protozoan such as Paramecium or Amoeba. These single-celled organisms exhibit animal-like behaviors such as actively seeking and consuming food, moving using cilia or pseudopods, and reproducing through binary fission.
Theprotoctist kingdom is divided into "Plant-like protist" , "Animal-like protist" and "fungi- like protist"
Plant like protist
