Protozoa are single-celled organisms that behave like tiny animals - hunting and gathering other microbes for food. Many protozoa call your intestinal tract home and are harmless. Others cause disease, such as: giardia, malaria. toxoplasmosis. Protozoa often spend part of their life cycle outside of humans or other hosts, living in food, soil, water or insects. Some protozoa invade your body through the food you eat or the water you drink. Others, such as malaria, are transmitted by mosquitoes.
Most reproduce asexually by budding, although a few do so by mitosis. Yeasts are unicellular, although some species with yeast forms may become multicellular through the formation of a string of connected budding cells known as pseudohyphae as seen in most molds.Answers.com
