Cell Biology Chapter Nine: The Microscopic World • 9.1 Protozoans • 9.2 Bacteria • 9.3 Viruses Investigation 9A Protozoans • What are the characteristics of protozoans? 9.1 Protozoans • A protozoan is a single-celled eukaryotic animal. • Protozoans are most often placed in the Kingdom Protista with algae and slime molds. Protozoans need a moist environment to survive. 9.1 Structure and function of protozoans • Ciliates are a group of protozoans that move by waving tiny, hair-like organelles called cilia. 9.1 Structure and function of protozoans • Amoebas are protozoans that move by means of a pseudopod. (“false foot.”) 9.1 Structure and function of protozoans • Flagellates are a group of protozoans that move using a whip-like organelle called a flagellum. • A euglena is a flagellate commonly found in pond water. 9.1 Structure and function of protozoans • A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism. • Sporozoans are protozoan parasites in the bodies of certain animals.
