  • Flagellated Protists: Definition, Examples & Significance
    A protist that uses flagella to move is called a flagellate.

    Flagella are whip-like structures that protrude from the cell and help the protist move through its environment.

    Here are some examples of flagellated protists:

    * Euglena: A common freshwater protist that uses its flagellum for both movement and feeding.

    * Trypanosoma: A parasitic protist that causes African sleeping sickness and is transmitted by the tsetse fly.

    * Giardia: A parasitic protist that causes giardiasis, an intestinal infection.
