Detailed explanation-1: -Protozoa (pronounced: pro-toe-ZO-uh) are one-celled organisms, like bacteria. But they are bigger than bacteria and contain a nucleus and other cell structures, making them more similar to plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following types of microbial cells are most similar to animal cells in terms of their structure and nutrition? protozoa (not algae because Algae are very similar to plants.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Protozoa are single celled eukaryotes that are similar to animals in their nutritional needs and cellular structure. Most protozoa are capable of locomotion and are classified by their method of locomotion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes that share some traits with animals. Like animals, they can move, and they are heterotrophs. That means they eat things outside of themselves instead of producing their own food. Animal-like protists are very small, measuring only about 0.01–0.5mm.

Detailed explanation-5: -The naked eye can see only the largest phytoplankton and protozoa. Most can only be seen under a microscope.
