How do protista obtain energy and matter?
Protists usually obtain energy through photosynthesis, by ingesting organic matter, or by absorbing nutrients from their surroundings. They can obtain matter by ingesting other organisms or through the uptake of nutrients from their environment.
What two types-of energy make up Mechanical energy?
The two types of energy that make up mechanical energy are kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, and potential energy, which is the stored energy due to position or configuration.
What are four types of energy that make up internal energy?
The four types of energy that make up internal energy are kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy, and nuclear energy. These different forms of energy contribute to the overall internal energy of a system.
Is the energy from the movement of particles that make up an object?
Yes, the energy from the movement of particles that make up an object is known as kinetic energy. This energy is directly related to the speed and mass of the particles.
How do geysers make energy?
Geysers do not make energy themselves. However, they can be used as a source of geothermal energy by harnessing the heat from the underground reservoirs of hot water and steam to generate electricity using geothermal power plants.
What is different between animal- like protists and plant-like protists?
A plant-like protista has chlorophyll in chloroplasts to make energy from the sunlight, and an animal-like protist gets its energy from other organisms. All plant-like protists are producers, while most animal-like protists are consumers, in other words.
Why is sunlight imporatnt to plantlike protists?
Sunlight is the source of the protists energy.
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.
What collects energy from the sun to make food?
Autotrophs. Producer. Plants, some protists and some bacteria.
Why is sunlight important to plantlike protists?
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.
What characteristic distinguishes plant like protists from other protists?
animal like protist feed off of other organisms plants a absorb suns energy to make its own food
How does Protista get there food?
Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.
What function do chloroplasts perform in protists producer?
Chloroplasts in protists help in photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy by producing glucose. This process is essential for the protists' survival as producers in the food chain.
What do planlike protists eat?
Plantlike protists generate their energy through photosynthesis, just as land-based plants do.
What do Daisy's eat?
Daisies are plants - they don't eat anything. Only animals and some protists get energy by eating other living things. Daisies make energy from light.
Is it true that protists that can make their own food are offten called animal-like protists?
False. They are plant-like protists.
What are two ways protists are like plants?
they trap the suns energy and produce sugars
