Answer 2

YOUR ANSWER IS BELOW

Explanation:

Algae and protozoa both fall under protista Kingdom .

But the characteristics of algae matches to that of plants as they too contain chlorophyll and have cell wall where as algae can also perform photosynthesis which is similar to that of plants that is why they are called plant like protists and they are not directly called plants because they are unicellular and only multicellular organisms can fall in the plant Kingdom. example : chlamydomonas

In the same way characteristics of protozoa matches to that of animals as like animals they also not have chlorophyll cell wall and also cannot do photosynthesis hence they are called animal like protista .they are not directly called animals as they are unicellular and only multicellular organisms can fall under animal Kingdom.. example : amoeba
