Protozoans are nothing but microorganisms that are unicellular (having only one cell) such as amoeba. Protozoa exist throughout aqueous environments and soil, occupying a range of trophic levels. As predators, they prey upon unicellular or filamentous algae, bacteria, and microfungi.
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.
The main excretory products of protozoans are primarily ammonia and other nitrogenous wastes, which are byproducts of protein metabolism. These organisms typically excrete these wastes through diffusion across their cell membranes into the surrounding water, as many protozoans live in aquatic environments. Some protozoans may also utilize specialized structures, such as contractile vacuoles, to help regulate and expel excess water and waste.
Protozoans are single-celled organisms that belong to the Kingdom Protista. They come in various shapes and sizes, and many live in aquatic environments. Protozoans are known for their diverse feeding strategies, ranging from photosynthesis to engulfing food particles.
There are approximately 30,000 known species of protozoans.
The four Phyla of Protozoans are Sarcomastigophora, Apicomplexa, Ciliophora, and Microspora.

They are all eukaryotes, and live in moist surroundings.Most protozoans are unicellular, but not all.

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.
Cordyceps
No Protozoans do not have skeleton. They are unicellular organisms.
protozoans are unicellular organisms
maybe a termite and the protozoans that live inside of it. termites cannot digest food without protozoans and protozoans do not get any food if the termites dont eat wood. so they would both die without the other. This is pretty much the same example as sheep with the algae that live in its digestive system that digest grass
Malaria is produced by parasitic protozoans.
The study of protozoans is part of microbiology.
Protozoans are heterotrophic, whereas algae are autotrophic.
Algae are autotrophs, while protozoans are heterotrophs.
