What is the one characteristic that the phyla Zoomastigina Ciliophora Sarcodina and Sporozoa have in common?
Kingdom Protozoa posses: Ciliaphora, Sarcomastigophora, and sporozoa Sarcomastigophora are pseudopods or flagellates and contain superclass sarcodina and mastigophora...mastigophora contains the class zoomastigophora basically the obvious commonality is that they are all PROTOZOANS...look at a phylum tree or a dichotomy tree you will be able to find commonalities amongst them...

How does mobile protists move?
Mobile Protists achieve locomotion in a number of different ways based on the classification that particular Protist falls under. Protists in the phylum Sarcodina use their blob like pseudopodia (false feet) to achieve movement. The pseudopod of a protist functions differently from that of a snail, for example. A protist's pseudopod acts like an arm which extend from the body, latches onto a surface, then drags the rest of the organism along.In addition to pseudopodia, protists of the Phylum Ciliata (which are unique among protists in that they do not act as parasites), achieve locomotion through the use of Cilia: small, hairlike fibers that the protist waves about to propel itself through a fluid.Finally, there are the Zoomastigina, also known as 'flagellates,' which achieve their movement through the use of a flagellum: a long, tail-like appendage that flails back and forth to propel the protist forward.
