Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but others like algae are multicellular. Protists have mitochondria responsible for respiration to produce energy to be used by cells. Additionally, they can be parasites and mostly prefer aquatic or moist environments. They may be classified as animal-like protists (heterotrophs and have ability to move), Plant-like (autotrophs that photosynthesize) and fungi-like (heterotrophs with cells that have cell wall and reproduce by spore forming). Protists reproduce by asexual means (e.g. budding) or sexually. Therefore, in this case we may conclude that they are all parasites and reproduce sexually or asexually.
Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.
Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.
Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.
A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. ... Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.
