Detailed explanation-1: -Fungus-like protists are all heterotrophic, which means they obtain food from other living organisms. They are also eukaryotes, which means they have a nucleus and many organelles. Fungus-like protists also produce spores when they reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs or consumers which need to be attached to their food source in order to absorb nutrients. They help to decompose dead and decaying matter. Like fungi they also have a cell wall and reproduce using spores which come from fruiting bodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -They eat bacteria, yeast, and small bits of decaying plant and animal matter. They eat by surrounding particles and then they digest them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungus-like and animal-like protists are similar because they are both heterotrophs and they both use spores to reproduce.
Detailed explanation-5: -The fungus-like protists are unicellular. They were originally called fungi because they produce sporangia. These protists differ from fungi in that their cell walls have cellulose rather than chitin. Fungus-like protists also generally do not have divisions between their cells like fungi do.
