Animal-like Protists
a) Ciliates: Motile, cilia, free living.
EX: Paramecium (reproduction by binary fission, conjugation)
b) Flagellates: motile, fl
agella,reproduce asexually by binary fission and sexually.
EX: Trypanosoma- causes African sleeping sickness
EX: Trichonympha- live in termites, help digest food
c) Sporozoans: non-motile, parasitic, reproduce by spores.
EX: Plasmodium- causes malaria
d) Sarcodina: "false feet" pseudopods
EX: Ameba- some cause amebic dysentary
**Disease- infection caused by many of these**
