How does Protista get there food?
Protists obtain their food through various methods, including photosynthesis, heterotrophy, and phagocytosis. Some protists, like algae, use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, while others consume organic matter or other organisms to obtain nutrients. Certain protists are also capable of engulfing food particles by surrounding them with their cell membrane in a process called phagocytosis.
Who was the first person to describe and see bacteria protists and discover that the blood of different species was different?

What three groups can scientists use to organize protists based on shared traits?
Scientists can organize protists into three groups based on shared traits: animal-like protists (protozoa), plant-like protists (algae), and fungus-like protists (slime molds). These categories help to group organisms with similar characteristics and aid in understanding their evolutionary relationships.
Heterotrophic protists are called?
Heterotrophic protists are called protists because they obtain nutrients by ingesting organic matter or other organisms for energy. This distinguishes them from autotrophic protists, which can produce their own energy through photosynthesis.
What is an example of eukaryotic microorganism?
The protists amoebae and paramecium are both eukaryote microorganisms. Especially in the sense that you need a light microscope to see them.
