Locomotion:-

Locomotion is any of a variety of methods that animals use to move from one place to another.

Locomotion in a protist :-

All protists can travel through water by one of three methods: cilia, flagella, or pseudo/axopodia.

Cilia :-

These are the hair like projections that turn of the pellicle in protist.

They also use their cilia to create a small current, which allows the protists to essentially sit back while their food comes to them.

Flagella:-

Flagella show whip-like movement.

They usually beat in­dependently.

This type of locomotion occurs in dinoflagellates.

Pseudopodia:-

It is slow creeping type of locomotion which is per­formed with the help of protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia.

Pseudopodial locomotion occurs in sarcodines and slime moulds.
