What is the nutritional mode of foraminifera, actinopoda, zoomastigophora, and ciliophora?
Foraminiferans have slender, granular pseudopods used to capture food than for movement. They have a shell (test) made of calcium carbonate or of sand grains cemented by mucus. The pseudopods poke out through holes in the test where they may touch and form a netlike structure to capture food. Phylum Zoomastigina: Zooflagellates The organisms in this group contain whip-like flagella. The nutritional habits of these organisms range from free-living, freshwater or marine, and symbionts or parasitic. Phylum Apicomplexa All apicomplexans are parasites. In typical parasite fashion, most have complicated life cycles, often with two different hosts. The phylum name is named for the “apical complex” found on the end of the motile stage used to enter the host. Human malaria is caused by four species of Plasmodium. Phylum Ciliophora: They have rows of cilia either all over the body or in specialized areas of the cell surface. Ciliates have a very complex organization. The cell covering, the pelli
