Sarcomastigophora is a former taxonomic group that included protists with flagella or pseudopods, such as amoebas and trypanosomes. The classification has been revised, and these organisms are now placed into separate groups based on molecular and morphological characteristics.
Flagella are characteristic of organisms in the Phylum Sarcomastigophora, which includes groups like Trypanosoma and Giardia.
The four Phyla of Protozoans are Sarcomastigophora, Apicomplexa, Ciliophora, and Microspora.
Zooflagellates, which are protozoans with long whip-like flagella, are found in aquatic environments such as freshwater, marine, and moist soil habitats. They play a crucial role in the food web as both primary producers and consumers, often serving as prey for larger organisms. Some zooflagellates can also be pathogenic to other organisms, including humans.
Rhizopods move and feed by using pseudopods. Ciliates are covered by hair like projections called cilia that are used to move, obtain food, and sense the environment. Flagellates move using whiplike flagella, usually live within other organisms. Sporozoans are parasites with no way of moving.
Protozoans are classified by the way they move. Some have Cilia or Flagella, but the amoeba has an unusual way of moving by stretching it's cytoplasm into finger-like extensions called pseudopodia. The ameba use its cytoplasm to move and eat another cell
Amoebas are members of the phylum Amoebozoa. They do not belong to the subphylum Sarcomastigophora.
Flagella are characteristic of organisms in the Phylum Sarcomastigophora, which includes groups like Trypanosoma and Giardia.
mastigophora, sarcodina
ameoba belongs to the subphylum 'sarcomastigophora' of the phylum protozoa
The four Phyla of Protozoans are Sarcomastigophora, Apicomplexa, Ciliophora, and Microspora.
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan belonging to class Sarcomastigophora-Sarcodina.
It is considered to be animal like because of it's movement by flagella or pseudopodia, or both.
Domain: Eukaryota Order: Arcellindia I hope This helps you out!
Actinophyrx has an amoeboid body and glassy silica shells. They belong to the phylum Sarcodina and class Heliozoa.
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...

Some zooflagellates can also be pathogenic to other organisms, including humans.
The four major phyla of protozoa are Sarcomastigophora (includes flagellates and amoebas), Ciliophora (ciliates), Apicomplexa (parasites like Plasmodium), and Microspora (intracellular parasites). Each phylum includes a diverse range of species with varying characteristics and lifestyles.
