Question
Protozoan X captures prey using pseudopodia, protozoan Y directs food-bearing water into a gullet using cilia, and protozoan Z has an infectious spore-like stage. Which identification is correct?
Explanation
Amoeboid protozoans use pseudopodia for movement and food capture. Ciliated protozoans use coordinated cilia to direct food-bearing water into a gullet, while sporozoans possess an infectious spore-like stage in their life cycle.
