Dinoflagellete. From the Alveolata Clade. -Causes "Red tide" and the poisoning associated with it is Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. -Has two flagella in groove.
|
 What is it? Group? and Clade? Common characteristic? Is it photoautotroph, heterotroph, or mixotroph? |
Euglena. From the Euglenid Group in the Euglenozoa Clade. -It moves in circles and vibrates caused by one or two flagella-They are mixotroph. In sunlight they are autotroph, but when sunlight is unavailable, they become heterotrophic.
