Which of these float near the surface of the water and consist of microscopic plant-like and animal-like protists?

Phytoplankton and zooplankton are tiny organisms that float near the water's surface. Phytoplankton are plant-like protists that use photosynthesis to produce energy, while zooplankton are animal-like protists that feed on other plankton. Both play crucial roles in marine ecosystems as they form the base of the food chain.


What is the name for protists that live in water?

The name for protists that live in water is plankton. They are microscopic organisms that form the base of the aquatic food chain.


What structures do all protists have?

The protists do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization[3] - either they are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues. This simple cellular organization distinguishes the protists from other eukaryotes, such as fungi, animals and plants. Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as the algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems, particularly in the ocean as part of the plankton. Other protists, such as the Kinetoplastids and Apicomplexa are responsible for a range of serious human diseases, such as malaria and sleeping sickness.

Is Amoeba phytoplankton or zoo plankton?

Neither, but closer to zooplankton than phytoplankton in my book. PLANKTON is not a taxonomic term. Plankton are organisms that can not actively swim against currents. Contrast "plankton" (floaters) with "nekton" (swimmers). ZOO -plankton are animal floaters like copepods and jellyfish, whereas PHYTO-plankton are photosynthetic floaters that include single microscopic cells like diatoms and dinoflagellates (organisms that make red tides). Amoeba are protists in the domain Eukarya so are more related to animals than plants, but are neither.
