dont make their own food
Animalia and Fungi are completely heterotrophic. Some are in protozoa and monera
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic. Heterotrophic protozoa feed on organic matter like bacteria, algae, and other small organisms. Autotrophic protozoa produce their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight to generate energy.
heterotrophic - ingest food like animals
Protist may be unicellular or multicellular , they can also be heterotrophic or autotrophic. All protist are eukaryotes, which means that most of their metabolic processes occur inside their membrane-bound organelles
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that are considered animals, as they are heterotrophic and ingest their food. Algae, on the other hand, are photosynthetic organisms that can be single-celled or multicellular and are considered plant-like. Visual characteristics such as cell structure, movement, and mode of nutrition can help differentiate between protozoa and algae.

Animal-like protists are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrition by ingesting organic matter or other organisms. They can be categorized as parasitic, saprophytic, or predatory depending on how they obtain their food.
PROTOZOA
While some autotrophs are categorized by some scientists as protozoans e.g., Euglena, most consider protozoans to be those single-celled organisms that are heterotrophic.
protozoa
If an organism is multicellular, heterotrophic (cannot make its own energy), and has no cell wall, it is an animal. This is the definition of the kingdom Animalia. There are unicellular animal-like members of the kingdom Protista commonly called protozoa. Fungi are heterotrophic and multicellular, but they have a cell wall made of chitin.
the chief means of locomotion for some protozoa, such as amebas
Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotic organisms characterized by their diverse shapes and sizes. They typically possess organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and sometimes specialized structures like cilia or flagella for movement. Protozoa can be heterotrophic or autotrophic, feeding on bacteria, algae, or organic matter. Additionally, they reproduce both sexually and asexually, showcasing a variety of life cycles and adaptations to different environments.
