Parasites. The fourth type of the protozoans are characterized more by the way the live than by the way they move. They are all parasites that feed on the cells and body fluids of their hosts. These protozoans move in a variety of ways. Some have Flagella, and some depend on hosts for transport. One even produces a layer of slime that allows it to slide from place to place!

Parasitic protozoans such as Plasmodium (malaria parasite) and Trypanosoma (causative agent of sleeping sickness) feed on host cells for nutrients and energy. They invade host cells and use their resources to sustain themselves and replicate, causing harm to the host in the process.

What type of cells are protozoans Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic?
They are eukariotic organisms. They are in phylum eukariota
Which cells might not contain any chlorplasts?
Animal cells,prokariyotic cells,protozoans and fungi do not have.They are in plant and algal cells.
Do all living cells have a wall?
No,not every cell has.Animal cells and some protozoans lack it mainly.
How are protozoans different from animal cells?
Protozoans are single-celled eukaryotic organisms, while animal cells are the basic structural and functional unit of multicellular animals. Protozoans can live independently and carry out all life functions within a single cell, whereas animal cells are specialized to perform specific functions in the context of a larger organism. Additionally, protozoans may have structures like cilia or flagella for movement, whereas animal cells rely on specialized tissues for locomotion.
Which type of protist is also known as a protozoan?
Protozoans are a type of protist that are primarily single-celled organisms. They are characterized by their ability to move and feed using specialized structures like cilia or flagella.
What type of cells has cells walls?
Animals and some protozoans lack a celll wall.Every other cell has a cell wall.
What type of cells are protozoans Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic?
They are eukariotic organisms. They are in phylum eukariota
Is a bacterium a protozoan?
No. Bacteria have prokaryotic cells, while protozoans have eukaryotic cells.
How do Phylum Porifera get feed?
They filter feed on bacteria, protozoans, unicellular algae, and bits of organic matter.
A fluid-filled vesicle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans?
The fluid-filled vesicle found in the cytoplasm of plant cells or protozoans is called a vacuole. Vacuoles in plant cells store water, nutrients, and waste products, and play a role in maintaining turgor pressure. In protozoans, vacuoles help with intracellular digestion and waste removal.
Which cells might not contain any chlorplasts?
Animal cells,prokariyotic cells,protozoans and fungi do not have.They are in plant and algal cells.

What type of sponge canal system allows the best flagellated cells to volume ratio?
The leucon type can feed the most cells, then the sycon type, then the simplest ascon type. ^^
How are protozoans different from animals?
The protozoa are one-celled animals and the smallest of all animals. ... They do breathe, move, and reproduce like multicelled animals.
What type of protozoans can't move?
A dead one! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
