Some groups of Protozoans

Protozoans can be broadly classified into four major groups based on their mode of movement:

Amoeboid Protozoans: These are protozoans that move by extending their body in the form of pseudopodia, such as Amoeba.

Flagellated Protozoans: These are protozoans that move by means of flagella, such as Trypanosoma.

Ciliated Protozoans: These are protozoans that move by means of cilia, such as Paramecium.

Sporozoan Protozoans: These are protozoans that do not have any specific mode of movement and reproduce by means of spores, such as Plasmodium.
