Plant-like Protists
By: Wendy, Beth, Nic, and David
Cell Type
The plant-like protists are eukaryote and either multicellular or unicellular.
Cell Structure
They have nucleus, large ribosomes, mitochondria, and ER, golgi bodies, and some have chloroplast.
Appearance
A lot of protists that appear and share the same function as plant roots and stems called holdfasts and stripes.
Method of Obtaining Energy
There are four main ways the plant like protist obtain energy:
Photosynthetic autotroph
Chemosynthetic autotroph
Heterotroph by ingestion
Heterotroph by absorption
*Euglenoibs are autotroph in the light and heterotroph at night.*
Method of Reproduction
Asexual and Sexual reproduction. Some protists reproduce by mitosis, miosis, or both.
