Type your answer here... Fungi are their own, separate kingdom. They are distinct from protists. One reason is because of the way in which fungi obtain nutrients. They are heterotrophic absorptive, which means that they secrete enzymes onto their food source and then absorb the digested material. This is akin to you squirting enzymes from your stomach onto your plate of food, waiting then absorbing the digested products through your skin. Wierd enough to put you in your own, separate kingdom.
Protists fall into 2 categories, algae, who are photosynthetic autotrophs, and protozoa, who are heterotrophic ingestive.
What else can I help you with?
Are animal-like protist producers?
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.
How are animal-like protists categorized?
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.
What are 2 types of movement of animal-like protists?
Ciliary movement: Some animal-like protists, such as Paramecium, move by beating hair-like structures called cilia. Flagellar movement: Others, like Euglena, move by using whip-like structures called flagella to propel themselves through their environment.
How do animal like protists get food?
they get there food by moving place to place to obtain their food.
Are protists animals?
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.
How do animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists?
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
How do animal -like protists differ from plant-like protists?
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
How would you describe animal-like-protists?
animal-like protists
What is the difference between animals and animal like protists?
Animal-like protists are unicellular~
Where do animal like protists live?
Animal-like protists live in moist and damp places
Is volvox animal like protists or plant like protists?
Plant like protist
How would you describe animal-like-protist?
animal-like protists
Is it true that protists that can make their own food are offten called animal-like protists?
False. They are plant-like protists.
Animal like protists are known as what?
pyrrophyta ------------- Pyrrohphyta are a type of dinoflagellate which are a type of flagellated protists and sub-classification of protists. Animal-like protists would be known as eukaryotic organisms. Examples of some of the animal-like protists would be paramecium, amoeba, euglena, vorticella and most of what are historically known as protozoans.
What are the animal like protists know as?
Protists are informally called protozoa.
What is a common name for animal-like protists?
Generic name for animal-like protists would be Protozoa.
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.
