Summary Introduction
To describe:
The protozoan characteristics that illustrates why protozoa are informally placed into a single group.
Concept introduction:
All protozoan organisms are grouped together as protozoa due to their physical features, and not genetic ties. Most protozoa organisms are free-living and do not cause harm. However, a few protozoa speciesare known to be pathogenic and cause a number of infections in humans.
