Phylum Apicomplexa is used now instead of sporozoa. All apicomplexans are parasites. In typical parasite fashion, most have complicated life cycles, often with two different hosts. The phylum name is named for the "apical complex" found on the end of the motile stage used to enter the host. The basic life cycle may be said to start when an infective stage, or sporozoite, enters a host cell, and then divides repeatedly to form numerous merozoites. Some of the merozoites transform into sexually reproductive cells, or gamonts. Gamonts join together in pairs and form a gamontocyst. Within the gamontocyst, the gamonts divide to form numerous gametes. Pairs of gametes then fuse to form zygotes, which give rise by meiosis to new sporozoites, and the cycle begins again. Human malaria is caused by four species of Plasmodium.
They at some point in their life produce spores and they have no locomotion.
Protozoa is a diverse group of single-celled organisms. They belong to the kingdom Protista, phylum Protozoa. Within this phylum, there are different classes such as Sarcodina (amoebas), Ciliophora (ciliates), Flagellata (flagellates), and Sporozoa (sporozoans). Each class further contains various orders, families, genera, and species.

The "true yeasts" are in phylum Ascomycota. There are some organisms commonly called "yeast" in Basidomycota as well.
other organisms or their surroundings.

it contains spores.
Sporozoa move through a process known as flexion. Sporozoa move a part of the cell called gyloqiterior back and forth to enable them to move. It produces more of a slithering effect than getting up and moving.
They reproduce sexually in one host and asexually in the second host.
Paramecium is located in the phylum ciliophora.
Protozoa is a diverse group of single-celled organisms. They belong to the kingdom Protista, phylum Protozoa. Within this phylum, there are different classes such as Sarcodina (amoebas), Ciliophora (ciliates), Flagellata (flagellates), and Sporozoa (sporozoans). Each class further contains various orders, families, genera, and species.
The phylum that has organisms known for a hydrostatic skeleton is the phylum Mollusca. This group of animals, such as snails and squids, have a fluid-filled cavity that provides support and structure to their bodies.
Phylum Ciliophora
Each animal phylum has unique characteristics that distinguish it from others. For example, all chordates possess a notochord at some point in their development, arthropods have jointed appendages and an exoskeleton, mollusks have a muscular foot and a soft body enclosed in a mantle, and echinoderms have a spiny skin and a water vascular system.
Te organisms found in the phylum chorodata are sea squirts and vertebrate animals.
