• Depends on other organisms for food

• Can produce its own food

• Is always a plant

• Requires sunlight to survive

What are the ways in which microbiologists classify protists?

• Microbiologists classify protists by the way they look. Some of them are green in color, while others are clear.

• Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move. Some protists use cilia to move, while others use cytoplasmic streaming or flagella.

• Microbiologists classify protists by observing how they move and their method of obtaining energy.

• Microbiologists classify protists by observing their method of obtaining energy.
