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.
