	This group of flagellate [[protozoans]] have much in common with typical algae. Some actually contain the pigment chlorophyll and use a photosynthetic type of nutrition [10]. Flagellates that do not use photosynthesis as a source of food can also absorb nutrients through their body surface, or can ingest food particles. Species that are members of this group include but are not limited to Euglena, Chloromonad, Dinoflagellate, Cryptomonad, Chrysomonad. Phytoflagellates are considered as a group because (1) possession of a nucleus in the conventional sense and centriolar mitosis (2) mobility by means of flagella (3) photosynthetic pigments located in the plastids [11].

	Both phytoflagellates and zooflagellates can be found in ponds, lagoons, and even shallow puddles. Wherever there are large amounts of soluble food, flagellates can thrive. However, parasitic zooflagellates live inside the intestines or bloodstream of a host and can cause harmful diseases like giardiasis.

	===Zooflagellates===		===Zooflagellates===
			This group of flagellates are non-photosynthetic [[organisms]] compared to the other group of flagellates discussed in the previous section [12]. These flagellates lack cell walls and feed by either phagocytosis or endocytosis. This group of flagellates is one of the most diverse of all eukaryotes and have given rise to most other parts of the eukaryotic cells that we see today. Zooflagellates are classified over thirteen or fourteen phyla and are spread across four of the seven eukaryotic kingdoms that we have currently classified to date [12].

	:Like all [[Flagellates]], Euglena have a flagellum. They are green because they have chloroplasts, which are organelles that aid in photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll. They have a plasma membrane, which contains their cytoplasm and other organelles. The pellicle is a flexible membrane, which supports the plasma membrane. A contractile vacuole removes excess water from the cell, and a reservoir located near the flagellum expels the excess water. They also have a red eye spot, called a stigma, which is light sensitive and helps to guide their movement.		:Like all Flagellates, Euglena have a flagellum.
