Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove “excavated” from one side. This supergroup includes heterotrophic predators, photosynthetic species, and parasites. Its subgroups are the diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans.
Apr 26, 2021 · Kingdom Protista is highly diverse, and its members have few similarities with one another. Protists can be broadly classified as animal-like, plant-like, or fungi-like based on characteristics they share with animals, plants, and fungi. Animal-like Protists. Animal-like protists are also known as protozoa, meaning ‘first animal.’ This is ...
The pellicle functions like a flexible coat of armor, preventing the protist from being torn or pierced without compromising its range of motion. Figure 5.4.4 5.4. 4: The pellicle of a euglenid can be seen here as the thread-like structures on the right side of the organism. Deuterostome CC-SA-3.0.
