Answer 1

Protists can have three types of appendages to move around, they are:-

1. Flagella (long, whip-like structure)
2. Cilia
3. Pseudopodia (temporary arm-like projection)

Answer 2

Protists bear 3 type of appendages;Cilia, flagella and pseudopodia

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotic that are unicellular that provide food,oxygen and shelter for underwater ecosystem.

It lack cellular complexity and are heterotrophic.

Their locomotion is done by cilia,flagella or pseudopodia.

Cilia is thin,small tail like projection that beat constantly and thus protists move forward found in Paramecium.

Flagella is a tail like projection that move in a circular motion and thus the protists moves forward.

Pseudopodia is a arm like projection which contain actin filament,micro filament found in Amoeba.
