Protozoa

The document discusses the kingdom Protista, which includes unicellular eukaryotic organisms that can be heterotrophic or autotrophic. Protists have diverse cell structures like plasma membranes, cytoplasm, and structures for locomotion such as flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia. They are classified into phyla based on these locomotion structures, with examples including Ciliophora which includes Paramecium, Euglenozoa which includes Euglena, and Apicomplexa which includes the malaria parasite Plasmodium.
