- Protozoa is another name for protists that resemble animals. Some are parasites as well.
- The four phyla that make up the Protozoa are flagellates, ciliates, spore-forming protists, and protists that resemble amoebas.
- Nuclear membranes surround the DNA of protists.
- Most protists are motile, or able to move, and many of them inhabit aquatic settings.
- Protists can reproduce sexually and/or asexually, and their life cycles are intricate.
