how do pseudopodia protozoans move
Through pseudopods
what does amoeba mean?
Changing shapes
how do you pseudopodia protozoans move?
The cytoplasm pushes, I am changes the shape of amoebas to create new arms and feet that engulf the food
what two diseases does amoeba cause
Dysentery and brain eating
How do you sporozoan protozoans move?
They can’t move unless they are in a vector

Euglena
When is Euglena autotrophic?
When it is plant like it is in the sun and it is photosynthesis
when is Euglena heterotrophic
When there’s no sun, and it is animal like and it is a flageolet, and it is is flagella
