What is zooflagellates in biology?
noun, plural: zooflagellates. Any of the animal-like flagellates characterized by their lack of chlorophyll and heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Supplement. These flagellates are named for their animal-like features: colourless, heterotrophic, and lack of chlorophyll.

Are zooflagellates photosynthetic?
Zooflagellates are non-photosynthetic flagellates without plastids or cell walls which feed by phagocytosis or endocytosis. In the phylum Dinozoa (i.e. dinoflagellates and protalveolates) most classes consist purely of zooflagellates, but the majority of species are photosynthetic.
How do zooflagellates reproduce?
Zooflagellates generally reproduce asexually by binary fission. Recall that asexual reproduction results in genetically identical offspring. Though most species of zooflagellates are free-living, some are parasites.
What are examples of Zoomastigina?
Examples of zoomastigina include Trypanosoma, Leishmania, Giardia, and Trichonympha.
Are zooflagellates Heterotrophs or Autotrophs?
Mastigophora (or flagellates) were further divided into the zooflagellates (heterotrophs) and phytoflagellates (photosynthetic autotrophs).
What are examples of Zooflagellates?
How are Zooflagellates different from other protozoans?
Zooflagellates differ from other protozoans because they are unicellular and may live on their own or on a host as a parasite. They have long bodies with one large nucleus. They reproduce by binary fission.
What are Zoomastigina?
Definition of Zoomastigina : a subclass of Mastigophora that comprises holozoic or saprozoic flagellates lacking chromatophores and stigma and that includes the orders Hypermastigina, Polymastigina, Protomonadina, and Rhizomastigina — compare phytomastigina.
What kind of organism is a zooflagellate?
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 Zooflagellate | organism | Britannica BrowseSearch
Is the pellicle of a zooflagellate flexible or flexible?
The zooflagellate’s flexible pellicle (envelope) is sufficiently thin in certain genera to permit pseudopodal projections. Zooflagellates exhibit a considerable variation in form, and they may be free-living, symbiotic, commensal, or parasitic in humans and other animals and in certain plants.
What kind of structure does a choanoflagellate have?
Choanoflagellate, any protozoan of the flagellate order Choanoflagellida (sometimes classified in the order Kinetoplastida) having a transparent food-gathering collar of cytoplasm around the base of the flagellum. Many choanoflagellates are solitary and sessile (attached to a surface), with or without a stalk.
