Answer

Means of locomotion in Protozoa are: 1. Ciliary: This motion takes place using Cilia, which are hair like structures. The protozoa propels itself with the help of cilia towards desired direction. 2. Flagellar: This type of motion takes place using the falgella, which are also hair like structures but which are longer than Cilia. 3. Amoeboid: This movement takes place by the process of polymerization of actin and myosin proteins. This results in the movement of cell material.
