    Question: he main basis of classification of phylum Protozoa is:

    Options:

    Size of body
    Locomotory organelles
    Shape of acellular body
    Number of nuclei

    Concept-
    -The five-kingdom system proposed by R.H. Whittaker.
    -The kingdom defined by him was named- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
    -Protozoa come under Kingdom Protista.
    -Protozoa is 3rd largest phylum.
    -Protozoa include unicellular eukaryotes. 
    -They believed to be primitive relatives of animals.
    -They are heterotrophs.
    -They live as predators or parasites.
    Explanation-
    -Protozoa are divided into 4 classes.
    -The basis of classification is locomotory organs.
    -The 4 classes are-
    -1. Flagellata  2. Rhizopoda  3. Ciliata  4. Sporozoa.
    These are divided on the basis of locomotory organs

    🔴Additional Information:
    -Sporozoa
    -Sporozoa are all endoparasites.
    -In Sporozoa locomotory organs are absent.
    -They reproduce asexually by multiple fission and sexually by syngamy.
    -Eg of Sporozoa is Plasmodium, Babesia, etc. 
    -Flagellata
    -They are free-living or parasitic.
    -In this locomotion by thread-like flagella.
    -Reproduce by binary fission.
    -Eg are Euglena, Giardia intestinalis, etc.
    -Sarcodina
    -They are free-living or parasitic.
    -Locomotion by pseudopodia.
    -They reproduce by binary fission.
    -Eg is Entamoeba histolytica, etc.
    -Ciliata
    -They are free-living or parasitic.
    -Locomotion by cilia.
    -They reproduce by binary fission and conjugation.
    -Eg is Paramoecium, etc.
