NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Flagellates (subphylum mastigophora) are single-celled protozoa that move using flagella.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most Mastigophora use mainly flagella, Opalinida use cilia or flagella for locomotion, and Ciliophora use cilia exclusively.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagellar movement, or locomotion, occurs as either planar waves, oarlike beating, or three-dimensional waves. All three of these forms of flagellar locomotion consist of contraction waves that pass either from the base to the tip of the flagellum or in the reverse direction to produce forward or backward movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -All kinetoplastid parasites, including protozoa such as Leishmania species, Trypanosoma brucei, and Trypanosoma cruzi that cause devastating diseases in humans and animals, are flagellated throughout their life cycles.
