Question

Describe different types of locomotion in protozoans

Answer 1

Protozoans exhibit diverse modes of locomotion across the various groups, but the modes of locomotion can be divided into flagellar, ciliary, and amoeboid movement. Only the ciliates among the three major motility groups of protozoans, however, represent a truly monophyletic in some . (Some non-ciliates, such as those of group Opalinata, possess cilia-like organelles that are fundamentally different from true cilia.) In contrast, flagella and pseudopodia are present in a wide variety of distantly related taxa .

Answer 2

Protozoans exhibit diverse modes of locomotion across the various groups, these includes movements like flagellar, ciliary, and amoeboid movement.
