yes protozoa can synthesis their food
Metronidazole is an antimicrobial drug that interferes with DNA synthesis in microorganisms, particularly anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, rather than protein synthesis.
in our stomach
Protozoa eat food to obtain energy and algae use photosynthesis.
No, protozoa do not have a genome of RNA; their genetic material is primarily composed of DNA. Like other eukaryotic organisms, protozoa possess a DNA-based genome that is organized into chromosomes. Some viruses may have RNA genomes, but protozoa themselves are not classified this way. They can, however, have RNA as part of their cellular machinery for processes like protein synthesis.
heterotrophic - ingest food like animals

Protozoa can be classified as primary consumers, but it depends on their specific diet. Many protozoa are heterotrophic and feed on bacteria, algae, and other organic matter, making them primary consumers in some ecosystems. However, some protozoa are also predators, consuming other microorganisms, which places them higher in the food chain. Thus, while some protozoa serve as primary consumers, others fulfill different roles in their respective food webs.
Bacillus anthracis (spore forming protozoa) rely on their host for food, water, and shelter; therefore making them a heterotroph.
Metronidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication that works primarily by disrupting DNA synthesis in microorganisms. Its mechanism of action (MAO) involves the reduction of its nitro group by anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates that damage DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis. This action makes it effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa, such as Giardia and Trichomonas.
