Protozoa
Protozoa (in
Greek
proto = first and zoa = animals) are
one-celled
eukaryotes
(that is,
unicellular
microbes
whose cells have membrane-bound
nuclei
) that commonly show characteristics usually associated with
animals
,
mobility
and
heterotrophy
. Protozoans were commonly grouped in the
kingdom
Protista
together with the
plant
-like
algae
and fungus-like
water mold
s and
slime mold
s. In 21st-century
systematics
, however, most of the algae are classified in kingdoms such as
Plantae
and
Chromista
; and in such cases the remaining life forms are occasionally classified as a kingdom Protozoa. But the name is misleading, since protozoans are neither
Animalia
nor
Metazoa
, with the possible exception of the enigmatic, moldy
Myxozoa
).
