Flagellates, unicellular protists, use their flagella to move around. They may or may not produce their own food. A flagellate is both plant and animal. They move by using a hair-like structure called flagella.

Flagella are hairlike structures that some bacteria use for locomotion. Depending on their arrangement patterns, specific names have been applied. Some bacteria have one single flagellum (singular) on one end of the cell, they are said to be monotrichous. Some bacteria have flagella on both ends of the cell. These are said to be lophotrichous. Some bacteria have flagella surrounding the cell. These have the flagella in a peritrichous pattern.

Simply put, a flagellum is a hairlike structure that grows out of a cell.

The name ciliates comes from an old Latin word, meaning "eye lash." This name is given because all or some part of these cells are covered with hair-like things called cilia. The following are details of a ciliate: # unicellular # eukaryotic # have cilia, tiny hair-like organelles # Kingdom Protist

Parasites are what feed on your nutrients, as you should know.

Flagellum is almost tail-like structure in a prokaryote.

Parasitic Flagellates, therefore are parasites with flagellum

Flagella doesn't MEAN anything, it is more of a what. It is a long tail like body part, that helps propel organisms through the water.

Is Dino-flagellates heterotroph and photosynthetic?

Both Dino-flagellates cover a class of microbes that can be either photosynthetic or heterotrophic. About half are considered photosynthetic plankton (mostly in marine waters but some are also found in fresh water), they are eukaryotic algae (protozoa). Predator dino-flagellates do not have pigments like photosynthetic ones. There are also a few parasitic forms.


Where do Dino-flagellates live?

They live in freshwater ponds typically in an eco firendly habitat where there is a common amount of parasitic zygotes available for the enhancement of the frivilous phytoplanton.

What is the relationship between termites and intestinal flagellates?

The type of symbiotic relationship between termites and flagellates in their intestines is mutualism. The flagellates digest the cellulose in the termites' diet to allow them to absorb nutrients. The termite gut provides a safe place for the flagellates to live and breed.

How do flagellates?

Flagellates have flagella, which are tails, that help them move. A flagellum is a bundled microtubule tail that propels them through liquid.
