Cell Wall: Made of cellulose, protein strips, and silica.
Nutrition: Animal-like protists are heterotrophs, but Plant-like protists are autotrophs, so both.

=__The Three Groups Of Protists__=

Decomposing protists such as Myxomycota that can move at one point in their life.

=__Animal-like Protists__=

__Apicomplexa (Sporozoans)__
Disease causing parasites that can move through body flexing or gliding.

Uses pseudopods and has multichambered shells made of organic material.


=__Plant-like Protists__= = =

Multicellular protists that are autotrophic like phaeophyta, but contain the pigment phycoerythrin instead of fucoxanthin.


=__Fungus-like Protists__= = =

__Acrasiomycota (Cellular Slime Molds)__
Protists that can be single-celled and move freely but fuse together with others like itself when food is scarce.

__Oomycota (Water Molds and Downy Mildews)__
Protists that are usually found in water, can be parasites to plants and fish, and feed on dead or decaying material.
