Contain flagellated Euglenoids and kinetoplastids
Mostly autotrophic
Kintetoplastids
Contain mitochondria
And extranuclear DNA housed in a kinetoplast
l Includes both photosynthetic and heterotrophic flagellates
l Euglenoids- one or two flagella that emerge from an anterior chamber; storage of polymer paramylon.
l Chlorophyll; lack cell walls
l Some have a red eyespot
l Kinetoplastid- single large mitochondrion that contains extranuclear DNA
