What characteristics make a protist more animal-like?

Answer 1

1.)most unicellular

2.)some are multicellular

3.)some are multicellular (algoe)

4.)can be heterotrophic or outorophic

5.)most are in water (though some live in moist soil or even the human body

6.)All are eukaryotic (have nucleus)

Answer 2

Like animals, animal-like protists are heterotrophs, and most are able to move from place to place to obtain food. Plantlike protists, which are commonly called algae,are extremely diverse. Like plants, algae are autotrophs. Most are able to use the sun's energy to make their own food. Like fungi, fungus-like protists are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce.

Answer 3

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi.

Like animals, animal-like protists are heterotrophs, and most are able to move from place to place to obtain food. But unlike animals, animal-like protists, or protozoans, are unicellular.

Plantlike protists, which are commonly called algae, are extremely diverse. Like plants, algae are autotrophs. Most are able to use the sun's energy to make their own food.

Like fungi, funguslike protists are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce. All funguslike protists are able to move at some point in their lives. The three types of funguslike protists are slime molds, water molds, and downy mildews.

Answer 4

Protists that are more animal-like typically exhibit characteristics such as motility, the ability to ingest food particles, and a lack of cell walls. They may also possess specialized structures for feeding and sensing their environment, resembling traits found in animals.

Answer 5

They are called algae

Answer 6

protozoa
