Protozoa
In some systems of
biological classification
, the
Protozoa
are a diverse group of
unicellular
eukaryotic
organisms. Historically,
protozoa
were defined as single-celled organisms with
animal
-like behaviors, such as
motility
and
predation
. The group was regarded as the zoological counterpart to the "
protophyta
", which were considered to be plant-like, as they are capable of
photosynthesis
. The terms
protozoa
and
protozoans
are also used informally to designate single-celled, non-
photosynthetic
protists
, such as
ciliates
,
amoebae
and
flagellates
.
