Chapter 4.4, Problem 17AYP
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
Three means of locomotion exhibited by protozoa.
Concept introduction:
All protozoans are commonly unicellular organisms thatcan be categorized into three groups on the basis of their mode of motility-sarcodina, ciliophora, and mastigophora. Non-motile protozoa are called sporozoa. Protozoa are dependent on locomotion for their transmission to host organisms, and also for feeding.
