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

How do ciliates differ from other protozoans?
Zooflagellates differ from other protozoans because they are unicellular and may live on their own or on a host as a parasite. They have long bodies with one large nucleus. They reproduce by binary fission.

In biological terms, fungi form a kingdom. The group of organisms we call fungi, includes yeasts and molds as well as mushrooms. Plants have a separate kingdom. Animals have a separate kingdom. Bacteria, protozoans, amoebas are in other kingdoms.
Are all protozoans prokaryotic and autorophic?
No, not all protozoans are prokaryotic and autotrophic. Protozoans are eukaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protozoans can photosynthesize like plants, while heterotrophic protozoans rely on organic matter for nutrition.
