exemplars of each phyla of protozoa.

 Phylum Sporozoa  is the fifth Phylum form the Protist Kingdom. They are nonmotile as well as considered parasites. Phylum Sporozoa also tends to invade red blood cells at location of replication. It is often associated with the rupture of blood cells. Plasmodium vivax is the best known sporozoan. Sporozoans have no flagellated extensions. However, all Sporozoa have apical complexes which is found in its cellular organization. This complex allows the Sporozoa to invade the host cell. They have complicated life cycles. 


 Phylum Ciliophora has an abundance of cilia. They are found to have trichocysts structures. It lives in marine environments. It also is known to consume bacteria. It has two nuclei; micronucleus and macronucleus. Paramecium is the best known Cilia. It tends to roll its body when moving forward because of the oral groove found on each side. They are often found in pond water. Paramecium moves due to the minuscule har like structures. 

Phylum Sarcodina is a single celled protist that can take shape or form due the flexibility of its membrane. Amoeba is the most known from the Phylum Sarcodina. However, unlike Paramecium, Amoebas move slowly.  It functions by stretching out its cytoplasm.It has a two phase life cycle. It is considered t be motile as well as active.
