Question

short note on zooflagellates​

Answer 1

Zooflagellate, any flagellate protozoan that is traditionally of the protozoan class Zoomastigophorea (sometimes called Zooflagellata), although recent classifications of this group have questioned the taxonomic usefulness of the term because some zooflagellates have been found to have photosynthetic capabilities and ...

Answer 2

Answer:

Zooflagellates are non-photosynthetic flagellates without plastids or cell walls which feed by phagocytosis or endocytosis. They are the most diverse of all eukaryotes and gave rise directly or indirectly to most, if not all, other groups of eukaryotes.

They are here classified into thirteen or fourteen phyla, spread across four of the seven eukaryote kingdoms that I now recognize:

• The probably primitively amitochondrial and entirely non-photosynthetic Archezoa;
• The usually aerobic but predominantly non-photosynthetic Protozoa;
• The always aerobic and usually photosynthetic Cryptista;
• The always aerobic and predominantly photosynthetic Chromista.
