What is the one characteristic that the phyla Zoomastigina Ciliophora Sarcodina and Sporozoa have in common?

Kingdom Protozoa posses: Ciliaphora, Sarcomastigophora, and sporozoa Sarcomastigophora are pseudopods or flagellates and contain superclass sarcodina and mastigophora...mastigophora contains the class zoomastigophora basically the obvious commonality is that they are all PROTOZOANS...look at a phylum tree or a dichotomy tree you will be able to find commonalities amongst them...


What animal like protists that use for movement and for feeding are members of the phylum sarcodina?

Amoebas are the animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina that use pseudopods for both movement and feeding. These pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to engulf food and propel the organism forward.


How are ciliated like and different from amoeboids?

The Sarcomastigophora phylum belongs to the Protista Kingdom, and has 2 Subphyla: Mastigophora, flagellates that use flagella as their form of locomotion; and Sarcodina (sarcodines), known as amoeboids, that contain protozoa and use projections called pseudopods as their form of locomotion.Ciliates are protists with hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to flagella but typically shorter and present in much larger numbers, and have a different undulating pattern than flagella. Cilia are variously used in swimming, crawling, attachment, feeding, and sensation.


Is protozoa the biggest microorganisms?

No. ....But as you probably guessed, they are related.This is the naming system referred to as Traditional Whittaker system of classification.There are 5 Kingdoms:Monerans, Plants, Fungi, Animals, and PROTISTS.Then you have those 5 broken down into subkingdoms, (then phylum, class, order, family genus, and species.) Protistshave 2 subkingdoms: Algae, and PROTOZOA.(The Protozoa subkingdom consists of these 7 phyla: Sarcomastigophora, Ciliophora, Apicomplexa, Microspora, Ascetospora, Myxozoa and Labyrinthomorpha.) Protozoas are heterotrophs, which means, they rely on organic nutrition to get chemical energy.So, not all Protists are Protozoa, some Protists are Algae.I hope that helps.
