Protozoans

Protozoans are a type of single-celled organism which belong to the kingdom of Protista. They can be found in a variety of habitats, from oceans and freshwater to the bodies of other organisms. They are known for their diverse range of shapes, sizes, and behavior. Protozoans are important for their role in the food web, and they provide food for fish and other organisms. They also play a role in cycling nutrients, decomposing organic matter and aiding in the digestion of food. Additionally, some protozoan species are parasites, causing diseases in humans and other animals. Finally, protozoos are widely studied in research laboratories as they provide an ideal model organism that helps scientists understand the workings of other single-cell organisms.
