They include single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweed. Like plants,they contain chlorophyll and make food by photosynthesis. Types of algae include red and green algae,euglenids, and dinoï¬agellates.â¢Fungus-like protists are molds.They are absorptive feeders, found on decaying organic matter. They resemblefungi and reproduce with spores as fungi do. Examples of fungus-like protists include slime molds and watermolds.ike the cells of protists and plants, the cells of fungihave cell walls. But fungi are unique in having cell walls made of chitin instead of cellulose. Chitin is a toughcarbohydrate that also makes up the exoskeleton (outer skeleton) of insects and related organisms.14.3.
