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

Please fill in the following with terms from the list. Terms may be used more than once, and all terms may not be used. (8 points) A codon is the place on prokaryotic mRNA that signals the binding site for tRNA. It is found 8-10 bases 5’ to the initiation codon on an mRNA. In all organisms, AUG serves as the initiation codon. The ribosome brings in each tRNA attached to its amino acid to the ribosome. Synthesis of the protein ends when a stop codon is encountered by the ribosome.
