Most protozoa are animal-like (heterotrophic) because their carbon and energy must be obtained by eating or absorbing organic compounds originating from other living organisms. As eukaryotes they have several organelles, including at least one nucleus that contains most of the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid.Source(s):ost protozoa are animal-like (heterotrophic) because their carbon and energy must be obtained by eating or absorbing organic compounds originating from other living organisms.

The taxonomic kingdom Protista is a collection of single-celled organisms that do not fit into any other category. Protists are a group made up of protozoa, unicellular algae, and slime molds. We will concentrate on the animal portion of this group: the protozoa (proto = first, zoa = animals).Protozoa are the oldest known group of heterotrophic life that consume and transform complex food particles into energy.rotists are a group made up of protozoa, unicellular algae, and slime molds.
