Protozoa can be classified based on their movement structures. For instance, flagellates, such as euglena, use flagella for propulsion, while ciliates, like paramecium, utilize numerous cilia for movement and feeding. Amoebas, such as amoeba proteus, employ pseudopodia, which are temporary extensions of their cell body, for locomotion and capturing prey. Lastly, sporozoans are generally non-motile in their adult forms but may have motile stages during their life cycle.
What else can I help you with?
Which pairing match protozoa with the structures they use to move?
Novanet: amoeba: pseudopod; euglena: flagellum; paramecium: cilla
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.
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
Does water move into or out of the protozoa?
Water typically moves into protozoa by osmosis, as they are usually in a hypotonic environment. This helps maintain their internal water balance and prevents dehydration.
Protozoa which move by hairlike projections?
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.

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.

What are flagella used for?
to move the protozoa; locomotion
Do protozoa move?
yes, with a second leg

What can many protozoa do that most fungi cannot do?
It's one of these:Speed the decay of dead organismsDepend on other organisms for foodProduce waste products harmful to peopleMove by themselves
Do protozoa have false feet?
Any organism that moves by means of pseudopodia (false feet) is called an amoeboid. Amoeboids are a branch of protozoans, but there are porotzoans that are not amoeboids. The answer to your question is that some protozoa (amoeboids) have pseudopodia (false feet), but the rest do not.
Can you name ten living things that do not move?
Coral is one Malaria Protozoa
