    4 days ago · Protozoa ( sg.: protozoan or protozoon; alternative plural: protozoans) are a polyphyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes, either free-living or parasitic, that feed on organic matter such as other microorganisms or organic debris. [1] [2] Historically, protozoans were regarded as "one-celled animals".

  2. Jul 15, 2024 · protozoan, organism, usually single-celled and heterotrophic (using organic carbon as a source of energy), belonging to any of the major lineages of protists and, like most protists, typically microscopic. All protozoans are eukaryotes and therefore possess a “true,” or membrane-bound, nucleus.

    6 hours ago · The British protozoologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith, since 1998, developed a six-kingdom model: Bacteria, Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protozoa and Chromista. In his context, paraphyletic groups take preference over clades: both protist kingdoms Protozoa and Chromista contain paraphyletic phyla such as Apusozoa, Eolouka or Opisthosporidia.

  5. Jul 15, 2024 · Among the ciliates with endosymbionts, Mesodinium is the only completely photosynthetic species. Other ciliates achieve photosynthesis in another way. Although they do not have symbiotic algae, they consume plantlike flagellates, sequester the organelles that contain the plant pigments, and use them for photosynthesis.

  6. Jul 15, 2024 · The protozoan cell carries out all of the processes—including feeding, growth, reproduction, excretion, and movement—necessary to sustain and propagate life. The cell is enclosed in a membrane called the plasma membrane. Like all membranous structures in the eukaryotic cell, the plasma membrane is composed of mostly lipid and some protein ...
