+Features of Unikonta Animals, plants, some fungi
BIGGEST group!
Most free-living, some parasitic
Amoebozoans: Lobe or tube shaped pseudopodia Move by the means of internal cytoplasmic flow Common in soils and aquatic habitats Do not form microtubule-supported structures except during
mitosis
Opisthokonts: A single posterior flagellum Highly variable

+Common Species of Unikonta Amoebozoans- Amoeba, Slime Mold, Gymnamoeba,
Entamoeba
Opisthokonts- nucleariids, choanoflagellates, animals, fungai
Plasmodial “sporangia” (slime mold) forms a plasmodium mass Act as decomposers, engulfing food by phagocytosis
Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic dysentery in humans Infection of the intestines

May have been the first group of Eukaryotes to diverge from other Eukaryotes, not widely accepted
