What Do Protozoa Eat?

5.2.

Protozoa are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms that can be several mm in length, although most are much smaller. Most protozoa are heterotrophic and survive by consuming bacteria, yeast, fungi, and algae. There is evidence that they may also be involved, to some extent, in the decomposition of soil organic matter.

How does a protozoa get nutrition?

Holozoic nutrition: Most of the Protozoa derive nutrition by ingesting other organisms. This mode of nutrition is said to be holozoic. It involves development of organelles for food capture, ingestion, digestion, assimilation and egestion of undigested food materials.
