Protozoa

Key Characteristics of Protozoa

• Type: They are single-celled eukaryotes (organisms with a nucleus).

• Size: They are significantly larger than bacteria or viruses but still generally require a microscope to be seen.

• Role: While many are harmless and play vital roles in ecosystems (like those found in soil or water), some are well-known pathogens responsible for diseases such as malaria and sleeping sickness.
