Question

How are protozoa similar to animal cells?

Answer 1

A protist-like species, or a protozoa. Such protists, typically with some form of cilia or flagella, have the capacity to travel and must receive their energy from other sources. Yet they are, clearly, much simpler than animals.

Complete answer:
-Animal protists are generally referred to as protozoa (singular, protozoan). A single cell consisting of most protozoa. Since they are heterotrophs, they are animal-like and are capable of travelling. While protozoa are not mammals, the ancestors of animals are considered to be them.
-Protozoa typically prey on other species by engulfing and digesting them. They have diverse positions as clients of grocery chains and blogs. A few are predators. Even single-celled species, such as bacteria, are preying on them. Currently, certain bacterial species are kept under control by protozoa predators. The herbivores are other protozoans. On algae, they graze. Others are also decomposers. They eat organic matter that is gone.
-Parasitic protozoa also occur in or on living hosts. The protozoan that causes malaria, for instance, exists within a human body. For several larger species, including insects and worms, protozoa are also essential sources of food.

In a protozoan and an animal cell, there are many aspects which are normal—
-They're both eukaryotic ones.
-Both of them have a membrane for cells.
-There are no big vacuoles in any of them.
-Like plant cells, none of them are rigid cells.
-The two use the Holozoic diet mode.

Note: Protozoa are self-sufficient and have the capacity to find their own food. Via flagella, cillia or like the glob, they have locomotion like an ameba that projects it's pseudopodia reaching forward and pulling it across itself. They replicate by binary fission, known as mitosis. A protozoa is very autonomous and can survive and complete its life cycle.
