They extend their pseudopods around the food particle and form a food vacuole where digestion takes place. - Flagellated protozoans, like Euglena, use their flagella to create water currents that bring food particles towards their mouth-like opening. They then Show more…

One scheme of classification of protozoans is by means of motility. Match the classification with the mode of locomotion. Sporozoans 1. Paramecium - Cilia Subphylum Sarcodina 2. Leishmania - Flagella Amoebas 3. Pseudopodia - Pseudopodia Phylum Apicomplexa 4. Malaria infective stage - Only gametes motile Subphylum Mastigophora Phylum Ciliophora
