Dinoflagellates are actually neither plants nor animals. They are single-celled organisms and are, in fact, members of the Protist kingdom. They are plankton and can be either zooplankton or phytoplankton, which means they can be plant-like (photosynthetic producers) or animal-like (heterotrophic consumers).
Protozoa.
dinoflagellate
Algae are photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, while protozoa are single-celled organisms that typically feed on organic matter. Algae are usually green, brown, or red in color, while protozoa can vary in shape and size. Additionally, algae have a cell wall, while protozoa do not.
Flagellates are of 2 types , Zooflagellates are Protozoa like while Phytoflagellates are Algae like .
Protozoans and algae belong to the kindgom Protista. Algae are plant-like, and protozoa are animal-lie. There are two plural forms of protozoan: protozoa and protozoans.

In the series given, the smallest creature is virus, followed by bacteria, protozoa and algae.
The two major groups of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists) and algae (plant-like protists). Protozoa are unicellular organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, while algae are photosynthetic protists that can be unicellular or multicellular.
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that are considered animals, as they are heterotrophic and ingest their food. Algae, on the other hand, are photosynthetic organisms that can be single-celled or multicellular and are considered plant-like. Visual characteristics such as cell structure, movement, and mode of nutrition can help differentiate between protozoa and algae.
Protozoa and Algae
Flagella, pyrenoids, chloroplasts, and eyespots are organelles commonly found in algae but typically absent in protozoa or fungi.
