Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Dinoflagellates are a large group of flagellate eukaryotes. They come under the phylum dinoflagellate. Most of the dinoflagellates are known to be photosynthetic. However, a large fraction of this is mixotropic, combining photosynthesis with the ingestion of prey.
