Phylum Zoomastigina
Zoomastigina are mostly single-cell
organisms. Zoomastigina have at least
one and as many as thousands of flagella.
Zoomastigina feed on dissolved
food and bacteria.
Some zoomastigina can change their forms.
Zoomastigina move by use of the flagella
when a search for food is required. Once
fed, zoomastigina lose the flagella
and change to an amoeba shape.
