How does Protista get there food?

Different kinds of protists get their food in different ways. Some protists can move and can take in food like animals do. Plant-like protists need to absorb the sun's energy in order to make food inside their bodies. Other protists like fungus grow above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria. This bacteria is then taken in by phagocytosis. Protists such as Dinoflagellates, Euglena, and Algae are Phototrophs that get their energy from sunlight. Protists like Apicomplexa, Trypanosomes, and Amobae are Organotrophs that get their energy from organic compounds.


Who was the first person to describe and see bacteria protists and discover that the blood of different species was different?

I need help


What three groups can scientists use to organize protists based on shared traits?

i dont knowi need this for my science hwidk dis is carazii maybe if some one knows dha answer plz improve iti need it for mii homwork and this is dha last question so plz help nd improve the answer if u know itproducers, heterotrophs that can move,and heterotrophs that cant move. these groups do not show how protists are related to each other.


Heterotrophic protists are called?

Protists are eukaryotes and live in water or in watery tissues of organisms. Some protists resemble plants in that they produce their own food by photosynthesis, while others resemble animals in consuming organic matter for food. Protist cells are often structurally much more elaborate than the cells of multicellular plants and animals. Protists include the protozoans, most algae, diatoms, oomycetes, and the slime molds. Also called protoctist. Heterotrophic protists are the ones that need to feed on other organic matter. They Cannot produce their own food via photosynthesis or other internal chemical reactions.


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.

Related Questions

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.


What are two common characteristics of fungus like protists?

Two common characteristics of fungus-like protists are their mode of nutrition, which involves absorbing nutrients from their surroundings, and their growth habit, where they often form multicellular, thread-like structures called hyphae.


What resources does protists need to survive?

what survival skills do protists have


Do fungi plants and protists need water?

yes


How are animal-like protists grouped?

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.


Examples of protists with their scientific names?

This is a statement and not a question. It is also homework that you need to do. Get the science book open and do it.


What are plants and some plantlike microorganisms?

Producers

Why is sunlight important to plant like protist?

Sunlight is important for photosynthesis in plants and protists, where they convert light energy into chemical energy for growth and metabolism. Without sunlight, these organisms would not be able to produce their own food and would not survive. Additionally, sunlight helps regulate important biological processes such as reproduction and development in these organisms.


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.

You need to rephrase the question. As is, it doesn't make much sense.
