Which of the following move using a whiplike structure?
A
amoeba
B
ciliate
C
flagellate
D
sporozoan
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Euglena is a unicellular organism that belongs to the Kingdom Protista and the Phylum Euglenophyta. Euglena move by using a flagellum, a long whip-like structure that functions as a small motor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flagella are whip-like structures that spin quickly, working like a boat’s propeller to move the organism through water. Most zooflagellates have from one to eight flagella that help them move. Giardia is a protist that moves with flagella. They can be found in freshwater streams and lakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The little whip-like structures that help prokaryotic cells move are called flagella. The flagella spin around and this helps to move the prokaryotes, like bacteria, along.

Detailed explanation-4: -The flagella have a whip-like appearance that helps to propel a cell through the liquid. Some special flagella are used in few organisms as sensory organs that can sense changes in pH and temperature. They are filamentous structures found in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes have one to many flagella, which move in a characteristic whiplike manner. The flagella closely resemble the cilium in structure.
