1) Protozoans

1) Sarcomastigophora - uses flagella, basically a tail, to swim around
2) Apicomplexa (Sporozoa) - has flagella only in its motile gamete stage, after which it loses any and all flagella
3) Ciliate (Ciliophora) - small hair-like processes called cilia allow the organism to move.

2) Memory cells are produced by naive (never been exposed to antigen) T and B cells when they encounter an antigen. In both cases, ...
