-all memebers of Protista Kingdom that act like animals

-Heterotroph - cannot make food; get from outside source

-lots of movement

-many types of relationships (Holozoic: engulf food; Saprozoic: absorb through membrane)

-classified by movement

-Amoeba (pseudopods)

-Paramecium (cilia)

-Flagellates (flagellum)

-Sporozans (produce spores)

PROTOZOAN (Sub-groups):

Phylum Sarcodina

-Have no shape - small mass of cloudy stuff

-some have a calcium casing

-pseudopods (false feet)

-Reproduction:  asexual, pseudopods seperate, genetic replication, pseudopods split cell/nucleus, two cells result

-food surrounded by feet and stored in a vacuole

Phylum Mastigophora

-typically independent

-can live inside other organisms

-can live in termites and assist in digestion

Phylum Sporozoa:

-Sporozoanas

-use host for movement
