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.


Unlike plants the plant like protists have no chlorophyll?

False


How are protists and plants similar and how are they different?

Protists and plants are similar because there euckaryotic.But they are different beacuse The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are always unicellular. Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.


How are plant-like protists like plants?

Plant-like protists, such as algae, share similarities with plants because they can perform photosynthesis to produce their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. They also have cell walls made of cellulose, similar to plants. However, plant-like protists are not classified as plants because they lack specialized tissues found in true plants.

What stops scientists from classyfying plant like protists as plants?

Protists and plants are classified in different domains: protists in the domain Eukaryota and plants in the domain Archaeplastida. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that do not fit strictly within the plant kingdom. Plants, on the other hand, have distinct characteristics such as cellulose cell walls and chlorophyll for photosynthesis that differentiate them from protists.


How do animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists?

Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.


How do plant like protist eat?

They are called plant like protists because, like plants, they photosynthesize their own food. They make sugars just like plants do and through chloroplasts like plants. Some, like Euglena, can be heterotrophic in the dark and even can move through flagella. Some, like Rhodophyta, are more plant like.


How do animal -like protists differ from plant-like protists?

Is volvox animal like protists or plant like protists?

Plantlike protists are considered to be?

Plants are like protist in that they have a relatively simple organization.


Do plantlike protists make their own food?

Yes, plantlike protists, such as algae, are capable of photosynthesis, which means they can make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. They contain chlorophyll like plants, enabling them to convert light energy into chemical energy for growth and survival.
