Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How do the phylum mastigophora move?
A
they move using flagella
B
they move from pseudopods (false feet)
C
They have hairlike projections to propel them towards food
D
they have no special structures for locomotion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phylum Mastigophora (Flagellata): Flagellated unicells that move by beating a long, whip-like flagella with a “9 + 2” grouping of microtubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Members of the phylum Mastigophora move about by using one or more whiplike flagella. The genus Euglena contains flagellated species. Members are freshwater protists with typical eukaryotic properties, including two flagella, reproduction by mitosis, and flexible nutritional requirements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mastigophora (phylum Protozoa, subphylum Sarcomastigophora) A superclass of protozoa, which employ one or more flagella for locomotion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The flagella move in a whip-like motion that produces waves that propel the microbe around. Amoeboid movement-the organism moves by sending out pseudopodia, temporary protrusions that fill with cytoplasm that flows from the body of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -flagellate, (subphylum Mastigophora), any of a group of protozoans, mostly uninucleate organisms, that possess, at some time in the life cycle, one to many flagella for locomotion and sensation. (A flagellum is a hairlike structure capable of whiplike lashing movements that furnish locomotion.)
