Explain how animal-like and plant-like protists are similar and different.

Animal-like protists and plant-like protists are both eukaryotic and live in moist environments. All animal-like protists are heterotrophic and eat other organisms. Most plant-like protists are autotrophic. Some can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic, while a few are completely heterotrophic. All animal-like protists are unicellular, while plant-like protists can be unicellular, multicellular, or live in colonies. Most animal-like protists can move, while only some plant-like protists can move.

The main way animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists is in the way they get energy. Animal-like protists are heterotrophs. They have to eat other protists or bacteria in order to get energy, much as animals have to eat plants or other animals to get their energy. Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are autotrophs. They can make their own energy from the sun or other sources just as plants can.
