Trypanosoma moves using a flagellum, Euglena uses a flagellum and can change shape, Paramecium employs cilia, and Amoeba moves by forming pseudopodia. Each mode of locomotion is adapted to the organism's environment and lifestyle. Understanding these differences highlights the diverse strategies of movement among protozoa.
