Plant-Like
Examples
Gonyaulax catanella (bottom left), Pediastrum boryanum (bottom middle), Volvox aureus (bottom right)
Evolutionary Milestones
Plant-like fungi have pass one evolutionary milestone: eukaryote.
Habitat
Plant-like protist are found in water.
Anatomical/ Structural Features
Plant-like protist can have an eyespot that is festive to light, air bladders, colorful pigments, pellicle, chloroplasts, and a cell wall.
How do they acquire nutrients
Plant -like protist are mostly autotrophs. They make their food by photosynthesis. Some absorb nutrients.
What do they eat
They consume glucose made during photosynthesis.
What eats them
Plant-like protist are eaten by other small aquatic creatures.
Symmetry
lack symmetry
Mobility
Plant-like protist move by using cilia or a flagella.
Reproduction
Plant-like protist reproduce sexually by conjugation and asexually by binary fission.
Development
Plant-like protist don have developmental steps.
