Cilia
the 'tails' are called flagellum anf they help the organism move in a helicoidal motion
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.
Flagellate A+
Yes, some protozoa are able to sense light through structures called eyespots or photoreceptors. These structures can help protozoa detect changes in light intensity and orient themselves in their environment.

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.

Covered with short, hair-like protrusions, like B. coli and certain other protozoa
The short hair-like projections that aid in movement are called cilia. Cilia are microscopic, hair-like structures that extend from the surface of certain cells and can beat in coordinated waves to propel the cell or move substances across its surface. They are commonly found in various organisms, including some protozoa and the lining of human respiratory tracts.

Ciliates, a unicellular protozoa, use their cilia, tiny hair-like organelles, to move around.
Protozoa
Protozoa that move by hairlike projections are known as ciliates. They have numerous hair-like structures called cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment. Ciliates are found in various aquatic habitats and are known for their complex behaviors and feeding strategies.
