Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that can be free-living or parasitic. They display a wide range of structures and live in many different environments. Key characteristics include being microscopic, unicellular, and carrying out all life functions within their single cell. They use pseudopodia, flagella, or cilia to move and feed through holozoic, holophytic, or saprozoic nutrition. Reproduction can occur asexually through binary fission or budding or sexually through conjugation. Protozoa are an important but diverse group of protists.
