Protozoa are microscopic, colorless organisms. They are terrestrial or aquatic, free-living or parasitic, and exhibit radial or bilateral, spherical or irregular symmetry. The body of protozoa is naked consisting of uni or multinucleated protoplasm. The body of protozoa is bound by a delicate membrane or a firm pellicle, theca or lorica or siliceous shell. Locomotion in protozoa occurs by pseudopodia or cilia or flagella. They are holozoic or saprozoic or holophytic in nutrition. Digestion is intracellular and reserve food is in the form of glycogen.
