NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -By eating other animals or other decaying organic matter in the ecosystem, heterotrophic protists receive the carbon-containing nutrients. They trap the sunshine and conduct photosynthesis in the presence of light. They use the heterotrophic mode of nutrition in the absence of light.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protists get food in one of three ways. They may ingest, absorb, or make their own organic molecules. Ingestive protists ingest, or engulf, ba cteria and other small particles. They extend their cell wall an d cell membr ane around the food item, forming a food vacuole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protists can be classified by their way of getting energy. Some protists capture sunlight and convert it to usable energy. Another group of protists gets its energy from eating other organisms. A third group gets energy by absorbing materials and nutrients from its environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant-like protists also referred to as algae can make their own food. They are a diverse and huge group. Plant-like protists will thus use autotrophic mode of nutrition. They will perform the process of photosynthesis to generate food (sugars) by utilization of carbon dioxide, water, and light energy from the sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protista have anucleus, organelles, and sometimes chloroplasts. Some can move with little hair-like things called cilia, ortail-like flagella. They get their food either through photosynthesis like plants do, ingestion like animalsdo, or both!
