Answer 1

Ciliates: Hairlike structures which provide movement and sweep food into the protist's "mouth", are mostly free-living

Ciliates are ciliated protozoans. They feed on a number of micro-organisms including bacteria and algae.The free living ciliates can be found anywhere on the planet.

Apicomplexans: All parasitic, and able to cause serious human diseases, such as malaria caused by Plasmodium.

The Apicomplexans are a large phylum of alveolates which are parasitic. They have a special organelle called apicoplast and they have an apical complex structure. By using this special organelle, they can penetrate onto a host cell.

Protozoans: Live primarily by ingesting food.

The protozoans are a group of single-celled eukaryotes, either free-living or parasitic. They feed on organic matter like for example, other microorganisms or organic tissues and debris. They come in many different shapes and sizes. They live in a wide variety of moist habitats.
