Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
Are small animal animals and protist producers?
No. All animals are consumers, not producers.However, there are certain protists like dinoflagellates, diatoms and algae that are producers and make energy from sunlight.
What are the Major kindoms of life on planet earth?
There are two answers to this question, depending on where you study. In the United States, a six-kingdom system is taught: animals, plants, fungi, protists, archaebacteria, and eubacteria. In Britain, Australia, or Latin America, a five-kingdom system is used: animals, plants, fungi, protists, and prokaryotes.
Only plants and animals reproduce?
While plants and animals are the main groups that reproduce, other organisms like fungi, protists, and bacteria also have methods of reproduction. These organisms have their own unique processes for generating new individuals within their respective kingdoms.
What are two types of living things?
Two types of living things can be generalized to prokaryotes (which are bacteria and archae) and eukaryotes (which are animals, plants, protists, and fungi).
What is a organism that eats protists or animals called?
An organism that eats protists or animals is called a predator.
Why aren't animal-like protists like animals?
They are not animals because protists just cant be protist
Animals are different from fungiplants and most protists because animals lack what?
Animals lack the ability to reproduce asexually and they can't decompose dead things. Animals are not emo unlike fungi and protists some protists single celled
What is one way protists differ from plant and animals?
Protists do not have specialized tissues.
Are zooplankton protists?
No, zooplankton are not protists. Zooplankton are a diverse group of small animals that drift in aquatic environments, while protists are eukaryotic microorganisms that can be both single-celled or multicellular, but are not classified as animals.
What is one way that protists differ from plants and animals?
One way protists differ from plants and animals is that they are typically single-celled organisms, whereas plants and animals are mostly multi-cellular. Additionally, protists exhibit a wider range of structural and functional diversity compared to plants and animals.
Are Cnidarians protists?
No, cnidarians are not protists. Cnidarians are a diverse group of animals that include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. Protists are a separate group of eukaryotic organisms that are not classified as animals.
What kingdoms composed that three-kingdom classification system used by scientists in the 1800s?
animals, plants, and protists
What is the difference between animals and animal like protists?
Animal-like protists are unicellular~
What animal is a unicellular?
There are no unicellular animals. Amoebas and paramecium are protists.
Who eats water mold?
animals and protists
Are protists eucaryotic or prokaryotic?
Protists are eukaryotic cells (eukaryotes). Other eukaryotes are animals, plants and fungi.
