Protozoa
Protozoans are unicellular organisms found in many different habitats. They are eukaryotic and can be predators, herbivores or parasites, depending upon the species. The well-known disease malaria is caused by a protozoa.

How do euglena make their own food?
Well if they're making their own food, then that means they're auto trophic, they use photosynthesis. If euglena can't get sunlight, they can also absorb nutrients from decayed matter.

Is a paramecium heterotrophic?
Yes, Paramecium is heterotrophic.
It has no chlorophyll or other means of synthesizing organic matter, such as glucose, from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water. So it cannot be autotrophic.
It must obtain organic compounds from other organisms, and is therefore heterotrophic.
How are protozoans transmitted?
Amoebiasis is transmitted by feco-oral or fecal-oral route. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.
Is aids caused by small protozoan?
Aids is caused by hiv, the human immunodeficiency virus. This virus is a parasite of human immune cells.
An eyespot allows an autotroph to detect light so that it can move into a well-lit area where it can carry out photosynthesis
Where does the amoeba and the paramecium live?
Algae, dead animal matter, dead plant matter, and organisms smaller then they are!! Hope this helps :)
Is the paramecium movement coordinated?
The cilia in paramecium beat in coordinated pattern. The base of each cilium is called kinetosome or basal body. All these basal bodies are connected to each other and form infra-ciliary system. This infra-ciliary system is under the control of neuromotor system.
What structures provide locomotion in paramecium?
Paramecium contain cilia (hair like growth), all around their cell that helps them to move.
Usually when you go swimming and water gets in your nose, there's ameba in the water, and when it gets in your nose you get amoeba.
What name is given to the 2 nuclei of the paramecium?
Yes Paramecia have 2 nucleuses in fact

Is amoeba an unicellular plant?
Amoeba is a single-celled organism meaning it exists as only one cell and it performs all cell functions alone. Being unicellular means that you are a single-celled organism and so amoeba is unicellular, like all protists.
Amoebas excrete waste through a process called exocytosis, where they expel undigested food particles and other waste materials from their cell membrane. This helps to maintain the amoeba's internal environment and prevent the accumulation of harmful substances.
Is protozoa a animal like protist?
Yes, it is.
(I'm actually doing this stuff in Science, that is one of our questions)
No. AIDS is caused by a retrovirus named as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
What is the size of a euglena compared to the size of bacteria?
The euglena is much smaller compared to the paramecium, its less than half the size of one paramecium.
What is similar between an amoeba and volvox?
Both live in wet or moist environments, also, have membranes structures, nucleus, and other internal.
P.S
If your smart enough, you would put this answer and cheat.
Trust me, it's right. I'm to smart to be wrong
