Chapter 12, Problem 10CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Why both dinoflagellates and euglenids are classified as protozoa by zoologists and algae by botanists.
Introduction:
Any living organisms that are not visible by naked eyes are said to be microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. These organisms are classified under two categories: Prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic organisms contain a cell wall but lack cell membrane bounded organelles. Eukaryotic organisms contain a cell wall as well as cell bounded organelles.
