Unveiling The Energy Acquisition Strategies Of Protists: A Comprehensive Guide
Protists exhibit a diverse range of energy acquisition strategies. Autotrophic protists, like plants, harness sunlight through photosynthesis or chemical energy through chemosynthesis. Heterotrophic protists, on the other hand, consume organic matter and break it down through respiration. This diversity in energy acquisition has led to the classification of protists based on their nutritional modes, such…
