Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a TRUE statement regarding the organisms of the Phylum Rhizopoda in the protozoa group?
A
move with flagella
B
move with cilia
C
moves with pseudopodia
D
not moving
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protozoans are eukaryotic and unicellular. They live in water as well as in soil. Some of them are parasites found inside other organisms. Amoeba and Paramecium are few examples of protozoans.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protozoans are motile; nearly all possess flagella, cilia, or pseudopodia that allow them to navigate their aqueous habitats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Free-Living Protozoa Movement is achieved by cytoplasmic protrusions known as pseudopodia. Cilia (in ciliated protozoa) and the flagella (typical of flagellates and some ameboid protozoa) propel the organism through the water by their beating, or they are used to generate water currents to draw food particles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagellates (subphylum mastigophora) are single-celled protozoa that move using flagella.
