Why are protozoan not considered an animal cell?

Protozoa are single-celled organisms that contain animal-like characteristics but are not considered true animal cells because they exist as individual organisms rather than as part of a multi-cellular animal. Additionally, Protozoa belong to the kingdom Protista, which is separate from the animal kingdom.


Would a spherical protist or a cylindrical protist have a higher surface area to volume ratio?

A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).


Which of these kingdoms have organisms with plantlike or animallike characteristic?

Kingdom Plantae is probably plantlike. Kingdom Animalia is probably animal-like. That probably didn't answer your question, though. I'm guessing your context was something about fungi or "protist" kingdoms. Mushrooms are actually animal-like because they use chitin, a protein found in insects, rather than cellulose, found in all plants, as a structural protein. They also are heterotrophic (have to eat/suck the life out of stuff). So they are a bit more related to animals like ourselves. In the protist "kingdom", now disbanded, slime molds resemble fungi and animals somewhat, amoebas/ciliates resemble animals, and of course algae(including seaweed!) resemble plants.


What organelle would be indicative of a plant cell rather than an animal cell?

A chloroplast would be indicative of a plant cell rather than an animal cell. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into glucose, and are found in plant cells but not in animal cells.


What makes protist animal-like?

Not all of them are. But the ones refered to as this are usually called this because they do not produce their own energy (i.e. Autotrophic...Photosynthesis) but rather actively hunt prey to get energy. Which is what animals do, so they are animal-like in that manner.

Two reasons the euglenoids are considered to be animal like are?

Euglenoids are considered animal-like primarily because they exhibit locomotion through the use of flagella, similar to many animal cells. Additionally, they possess the ability to ingest food through phagocytosis, allowing them to consume organic matter, which is a characteristic typically associated with animals rather than plants.


What was the first born animal on earth?

Awkwardly worded question seeing as life evolves from generation to generation classifying something as an animal rather than an animal-like protist is rather difficult. Most scientists however, can assume that animals evolved from flagellated protists and that the most primitive animal we know of is the sponge since it has no symmetry nor true tissue.


Why is phytoplankton is classified as a plant instead of an animal?
