Protists can obtain energy through photosynthesis, like algae and some protists with chloroplasts. They can also feed on organic matter as heterotrophs, breaking down complex molecules into nutrients. Some protists engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms to obtain energy, such as mutualistic relationships with algae or bacteria.
Algae is a name of a protist. It is a plant protist. An example of animal protist is protozoan. Most of the protists are single-celled organisms.
An example of a dependent protist is an apicomplexan parasite like Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria. This protist depends on a host organism for survival and reproduction, and cannot live independently outside of a host cell.
A decomposer.
Protist is a unicellular eukaryote, whereas algae can be unicellular or multicellular. Bacteria and archaebacteria are both prokaryotes and are typically unicellular organisms.
Yes, humans can survive without the protist kingdom as they do not directly rely on protists for their survival. While some protists play important ecological roles, they are not essential for human life. Humans obtain their necessary nutrients and energy from other sources in the food chain.
