Question

Animals and Animal-like Protists share some characteristics. Tell how the organisms in these groups are the same? Why do you think scientists have placed them in different groups

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Animals are multicellular heterotrophic organisms, meaning they cannot generate their own food, they rely on external sources of nutrition.

Protists are any eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus. The grouping is more used for convenience than anything else.

Like animals, animal-like protists can move freely and are heterotrophic. However, unlike animals, they are usually unicellular, and much simpler than animals
