The Protozoa

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Table 12.1
Protozoa
 Eukaryotic
 Unicellular
 Chemoheterotrophs
 Vegetative form is a
trophozoite.
 Asexual reproduction is by
fission, budding, or schizogony.
 Sexual reproduction by
conjugation.
 Some produce cysts.

Euglenozoa
 Move by flagella
 Photoautotrophs
 Euglenoids
 Chemoheterotrophs
 Naegleria: Flagellated and amoeboid forms; causes
meningoencephalitis.
 Trypanosoma: Undulating membrane, transmitted by
vectors.
 Leishmania: Flagellated form in sand fly vector,
ovoid form in vertebrate host.
