PROTISTSThe “Little Guys”

BUT… There are some general characteristics they all share: Unicellular (made of one cell)

Eukaryotes (have a nucleus)

Live in moist environments

PROTOZOANS

Move using PSEUDOPODS (“false feet”), bulges of the cell membraneExample: AMOEBA

Pseudopod

Sarcodine Animations/Videos

PROTOZOANS

Move using CILIA, tiny hair-like projections that move in a wavelike motion, acting like oarsExample: PARAMECIUM
