    This document discusses unicellular organisms including protists and protozoans. It describes the kingdoms and phyla of protists, noting that some protozoans are parasitic while others live freely. Specifically, it examines sporozoans, a phylum of parasitic protozoans, describing their apical complex which helps them attach and penetrate host cells, though they are otherwise very simple organisms that exploit host cell components.

    Unicellular organisms
    Any organism which carries out all the functions of life with the help of one cell

    Division
     Protists
     Protozoans (prvoci)
     Plantae
     Fungi

    Kingdom Protist
    Protozoans
     Some of them are parasitic – 60%
     Freely living – 40%
     Very dangerous for pregnant women
    • E.g.(Toxoplasma Gondi)
    ○ Quite common – many people are its vectors
    • Fly tse tse – the vector for sleeping sickness
    ○ Phylums
     Phylum Sporozoans (výtrusovci)
     Phylum Ciliophora (nálevníci)
     Phylum Rhozopoda (kořenonožci)(Amoeboid protozoan)
     Phylum Zoomastigophora (živočišní bičíkovci)(Flagellate
    protozoan)

    Sporozoans
    – Apical complex
     no organelles for movement
     composed of many parts
    ○ Rhoptry – attach the host cell and penetrate it is
    – All parasitic organisms are very simple – exploits the components of the host cells
    ○ Conoil – it is to penetrate the host cell’s membrane
    ○ Polar rings – hold all the parts of Apical complex together
    ○ Micropore – its functions is to bring some kind of water
