Explanation:
hello,,
Protozoa
Protozoa are one-celled animals found worldwide in most habitats. Most species are free living, but all higher animals are infected with one or more species of protozoa. Infections range from asymptomatic to life threatening, depending on the species and strain of the parasite and the resistance of the host.
Structure
Protozoa are microscopic unicellular eukaryotes that have a relatively complex internal structure and carry out complex metabolic activities. Some protozoa have structures for propulsion or other types of movement.
Classification
On the basis of light and electron microscopic morphology, the protozoa are currently classified into six phyla. Most species causing human disease are members of the phyla Sacromastigophora and Apicomplexa.
For our purposes, there are only 4 groups of protozoa that will be covered here: these groups are separated by motility and cell structure.
Amebas (representative: Ameba proteus)
Flagellates (representative: Trypanosoma, Euglena)
Ciliates (representative: Paramecium)
Apicomplexa (representative: Plasmodium)
