Flagellates PellicleFlagella
The common name of the Protozoa Mastigophora is Flagellates.
The outer body wall of this organism is called a Pellicle. The pellicle is a thick, flexible and elastic cell membrane that protects the cell and maintains its shape.
The mode of motility in Flagellates is through the use of flagella. The flagella are whip-like structures protruding from the cell that enable them to swim in fluids like water and blood. The flagella are usually found at the front or on the sides of the cell body and are used for both movement and feeding.
