Protists that have animal-like characteristics are categorized as protozoans. The protozoan group is further subdivided by the way in which the protozoans move. The categories include sacordinians which move using pseudopod, zooflagellates which move using flagella, ciliaphorans which move using cilia, and sporozoans which form spores.
No, protists are not animals. They are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms. Instead, they are classified into their own kingdom called Protista.
Protists can be grouped based on how they obtain nutrition, such as through photosynthesis (algae), ingestion (protozoa), or absorption (fungus-like protists).
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.
Some protists include algae, diatoms, paramecium, rotifers, flagellates, amoeba, and giardia. Other protists include trichomonadida, euglena, trichonympha, ceratium, and dinoflagellates.
No, I believe not. There are protists that are producers (autotrophs). This branch of protists are called Algae. However, the branch that you are talking about is Protozoans, and they are heterotrophic, so they need to take food in from the environment. So no, heterotrophs are not producers, so animal-like protists are not producers.
The phylum Arthropoda is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists. Arthropoda belongs to the animal kingdom and includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, while animallike protists are members of the protist kingdom.
True. Animallike protists are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from other organisms or organic materials in their environment.
Protists are categorized into one of the following three groups: Plant like, Animal like and Fungus like. It is debatable because they are group based on any common features rather than on how they have evolved over the years.

Animal-like protists are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrition by ingesting organic matter or other organisms. They can be categorized as parasitic, saprophytic, or predatory depending on how they obtain their food.
The three subkingdoms of Protista are Algae, Protozoa, and Fungus-like protists. Algae are photosynthetic organisms, while protozoa are single-celled heterotrophs. Fungus-like protists are similar to fungi in their feeding habits but are classified as protists due to genetic differences.
Animallike protist pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that allow the protist to move and capture prey. They are used for both locomotion and feeding, as the protist can extend and retract them to change direction or engulf food particles.
Sexual reproduction is the primary characteristic used to classify the types of animal-like protists. However, determining if the protist is multi-cellular is also another primary characteristic.?æ
