They can create photosynthesis to make their own food.


What characteristic would you use to place a protist with a cell wall in to either the plantlike or funguslike protists?

You would place a protist with a cell wall in the plantlike group, as most plantlike protists, such as algae, have cell walls made of cellulose. Funguslike protists, such as slime molds, do not typically have cell walls composed of cellulose.


How are protists similar to animals?

Protists are similar to animals in a couple ways. All animals are multicellular and some protists are multicellular though not all are. All protists and animal cells are also eukaryotic or containing a nucleus.


How do dinoflagellate obtain energy?

Dinoflagellates obtain energy primarily through photosynthesis, as many are photosynthetic protists containing chloroplasts. They utilize sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, similar to plants. Additionally, some dinoflagellates can also absorb organic nutrients from their environment or engage in heterotrophic feeding, allowing them to survive in various ecological niches. This versatility helps them thrive in diverse marine and freshwater ecosystems.

What are the three subkingdoms of protista?

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.


Do protists and archaea live together in colonies?

No, archaea and protists are very similar but they do not live together in colonies. Protists is anything that doesn't fit in the category of the other kingdoms. Hope this helped!


How can water glow like neon lights?

Some dinoflagellates give off light. A chemical reaction in the cells produces light similar light produced by a firefly. water filled with these dinoflagellates glows like a twinkling neon light.


How are protists and plants similar and how are they different?

Protists and plants are similar because there euckaryotic.But they are different beacuse The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are always unicellular. Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.


Is protista unicellular and multicellular?

Multicellular protists are grouped with unicellular protists because multicellular protists are very similar to unicellular protists. A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a prokaryote.
