Protozoaires

Any of the diverse group of eukaryotes, of the phylum Protozoa, that are primarily unicellular, existing singly or aggregating into colonies, are usually nonphotosynthetic, and are often classified further into phyla according to their capacity for and means of motility, as by pseudopods, flagella, or cilia.

Examples :

"In biology class, we learned that protozoans, like amoebas, are single-celled organisms that move and eat other tiny living things. "

En cours de biologie, nous avons appris que les protozoaires, comme les amibes, sont des organismes unicellulaires qui se déplacent et mangent d'autres petits êtres vivants.
