Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Organisms in Phylum Sarcodina use what to move?
A
pseudopods
B
cilia
C
flagellates
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -sarcodine, any protozoan of the superclass (sometimes class or subphylum) Sarcodina. These organisms have streaming cytoplasm and use temporary cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia in locomotion (called amoeboid movement) and feeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pseudopods are used for locomotion, anchoring, and capturing food, which consists of small organisms such as diatoms or bacteria. Amoebas (right), are probably the most recognizable members of the subphylum Sarcodina. They move about by pushing out their cell membranes to form pseudopods.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sarcodina move by amoeboid locomotion using protoplasmic extensions called pseudopods. Mastigophora move using a whip-like flagella. Ciliata move by means of cilia which cover the body surface. Apicomplexa (Sporozoa) are nonmotile and reproduce by spores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sarcodina Those Protozoa which form pseudopods used in locomotion and feeding.

Detailed explanation-5: -In order to move using pseudopods, the organism pushes cytoplasm towards one end of the cell, which makes a projection, or pseudopod, off the cell. This projection holds the critter in place, and the rest of the cell can follow, thus moving the organism forward.
