What else can I help you with?
Are Zooflagellates protozoas?
Yes , Zooflagellates are Protozoa .
Main disease causing organisms?
Viruses, Bacterial, Parasites, Fungal, Worms and Protozoas which one is the smallest?
Do protozoas have cells?
No, protozoans are a type of animal-like protists. Protozoans are consumers that can live in water, soil, or other organisms. While these organisms do not resemble animals, they are called animal-like because they are consumers and they share some characteristics with animals. Other types of protists are plantlike and fungus-like protists.
What is one similarity and and one structural difference between an animal and a plant like protist?
Well, animal-like protists are basically protozoas. They can move on their own, are consumers and typically live in water. Plant-like protists are basically single-celled plants. They have chloroplasts, are producers, and they cannot move on their own. One kind of plant-like protist is algae.
What types of organisms use spores to reproduce?
Fungi, ferns, horsetails, liverworts, hornworts, and mosses.
Do protozoas have a cytoskeleton?
Yes , they have cytoskeleton .
Are Zooflagellates protozoas?
Yes , Zooflagellates are Protozoa .
Do protozoas have backbones?
No , Protozoa lack back bone .
Are protozoas single celled organisms?
Yes, they are very primitive forms of life.

What eats protozoa?
Protozoa are preyed upon by a variety of organisms, including other protozoa, microscopic animals like rotifers and nematodes, as well as larger organisms such as fish, invertebrates, and some species of bacteria and fungi. Additionally, certain protists, like amoebas and ciliates, feed on other protozoa.
Many protozoa have tiny hair like structures that beat back and forth to aid a protozoas movement What are these hair like structures called?
the 'tails' are called flagellum anf they help the organism move in a helicoidal motion
What do protozoa eat?
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic. Heterotrophic protozoa feed on organic matter like bacteria, algae, and other small organisms. Autotrophic protozoa produce their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight to generate energy.
How do effluent treatment plants and water treatment plants work?
A water treatment plant will usually take water from a dammed river. The water is then filtered and purified till it is potable (that is, drinkable). Depending on the quality of the water it may have to be disinfected with chlorine or other chemicals to make it safe for use.An effluent treatment plant takes sewage runoff from toilets, factories, stormwater drains and other sources.Screening: First the effluent is screened to remove any solids (cans, plastic, condoms, tampons etc). It then moves through a tank slowly enough so that sand, stones and rock sink to the bottom where they can be removed before the mixture starts going through pumps. (The sand is usually sent to landfill.)Primary Treatment: The sewage then flows slowly through large tanks. Here the sludge sinks to the bottom and the oil and grease rise to the top. The sludge and the oils are then removed.Secondary Treatment: The remaining mixture is treated using aerobic biological processes. Air is pumped through to encourage bacteria and protozoas to break down the contaminants.Tertiary Treatment: Finally the treated water is given a final processing before it is discharged into a river, lake or ocean. Any one or more of the following methods are used:filtration (through sands)lagooning (stored in large man-made lagoons where reeds and other plants assist)constructed wetlands (rather like lagooning, using reedbeds and other similar methods)nutrient removal (to remove nitrogen and phosphorus)disinfection
