    Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes that can be predators, consuming bacteria and playing a role in controlling other microorganism populations. Fungi play a crucial role as decomposers, breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients for other organisms. Both protozoa and fungi can reproduce sexually or asexually and influence their ecosystems through predation and nutrient cycling.
