The Protozoans which are included in the kingdom Protista, are single-celled hetrotrophic eukaryotic organisms. Depending on their mode of locomotion they are grouped into four; 
The amoeboid protozoans - which use pseudopodia for movement e.g. Amoeba, Entamoeba
The flagellated protozoans - which have flagella assisting their movement. e.g. Trypanosoma
The ciliated protozoans - which have thousands of cilia whose coordinated movement helps the organism to move. e.g. Paramoecium
The sporozoans - which do not have movement but are carried around by flow of fluids. They are usually parasites with spore-like stage in their life cycle. e.g. Plasmodium

(4.4 - micellular or mulucellular. All plants, animals. fung and microbes exhtbil metabolism. The sum total of all the chemical reactions occurring in our body is metabolism. No non-living object exhibits metabolism. Metabolic reactions can be demonstrated outside the body in cell-free systems. An isolated metabolic reaction(s) outside the body of an organism. performed in a test tube is neither living nor non-living. Hence, while metabolism is a defining feature of all living organisms without exception. isolared Hence, cellular organisation of the body is the defining feature of life forms. Perhaps, the most obvious and technically complicated feature of all living organisms is this ability to sense their surroundings or environment and respond to these environmental stimuil which couid be physical. chemical or biological. We sense our environment through our sense organs. Plants respond to external factors like light, water, temperature, other organisms. pollutants. etc. All organisms, from the prokaryotes to rganis the most complex eukaryotes can sense and respond to environmental tuctio cues. Photoperiod affects reproduction in seasonal breeders, both plants f pare and animals. All organisms handie chemicals entering their bodies. All Drgans organisms therefore, are 'aware' of their surroundings.
