How do protozoas get water?
Protozoa absorb water through their body surface by a process called osmosis. Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, helping the protozoa maintain their internal water balance.
What are the 4 major groups of protozoa?
rhizopoda,flagellata,ciliata,sporozoa are four classes of phylum protozoa
Protozoa which move by mean of a whiplike organ?
Protozoa that move by means of a whiplike organ called a flagellum are known as flagellates. The flagellum propels the organism through its environment by waving back and forth, allowing it to swim and navigate through water. Flagellates can be found in a variety of environments, including freshwater, marine, and soil habitats.
Describe Locomotion in protozoa with reference to ciliary and flagellar locomotion and mechanism thereof?
Protozoa use cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated fashion to move the protozoa. Flagella are longer and move in a whip-like motion to propel the organism. Both ciliary and flagellar locomotion involve the movement of microtubules within the structures, generating force and direction for the organism to move.
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms

What are flagella used for?
to move the protozoa; locomotion
Do protozoa move?

What is protozan locomotion?
Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.
When saltwater protozoa enter fresh water?
The cells of the protozoa will become turgid and burst, as water enters by osmosis. The protozoa cell is hypertonic compared to the outer solution, which is hypotonic, meaning it it has a low concentration of salt compared to the interior of the cell.
Can you name ten living things that do not move?
Coral is one Malaria Protozoa
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms
