Question

explain protozoa with examples

Answer 1

The group of organisms known as 'protozoa' are defined by a few of their shared characteristics. Protozoa are non-phototrophic, unicellular, eukaryotic microorganisms with no cell walls. This diverse group of over 65,000 species generally share these basic attributes.Some, like Plasmodium, which causes malaria, can be devastating to people worldwide. Others, like Trichomonas, cause sexually transmitted diseases that are relatively benign and 100% curable. The vast majority of the species, though, are completely harmless. But, as is usually the case in microbiology, it's the dangerous ones that get the most attention. The first group are the Mastigophora, also known as the Flagellates.The next group are the Ciliophora, commonly known as the Ciliates
