  • Zoomastigina Protists: Flagellated Organisms & Examples
    The phylum of protists characterized by animals that swim using flagella is Zoomastigina.

    Here's why:

    * Zoomastigina is a diverse group of protists that includes many species that move using one or more flagella. Some notable examples include:

    * Trypanosoma, which causes sleeping sickness in humans

    * Giardia, a common intestinal parasite

    * Euglena, which has both plant-like chloroplasts and animal-like flagella

    Other phyla of protists:

    * Ciliophora use cilia for movement, which are much shorter and more numerous than flagella.

    * Sarcodina move by extending pseudopods, or "false feet."

    * Sporozoa are non-motile and parasitic.

    Let me know if you'd like to know more about any of these protist phyla!
