(dinoflagellates) Single-celled to colonial protistans characterized by two flagella, one girdling the cell and the other trailing the cell. Some dinoflagellates exist in coral, in a symbiotic relationship. These dinoflagellates are termed the zooxanthellae. ...

(dinoflagellates) mostly single-celled, often photosynthetic algae that live in fresh and marine waters
Dinoflagellates are algae. Part of their life cycle occurs as a readily fossilized cyst. The cyst, up to 0.3 mm in size, is covered with plates or with a pattern that is left after the plates fall off. As fossils, dinoflagellates are found in rocks as early as the Permian. ...
Dinoflagellates are also protists. They differ from diatoms in having a whip-like tail that enables them to move in the water, mostly up and down in response to changing conditions. ...
Small organisms with both plant-like and animal-like characteristics, usually classified as algae (plants). They take their name from their twirling motion and their whip-like flagella.
Single-celled microscopic organism that may have chlorophyll, be autotrophic, and be a member of the plant Phylum Pyrrophyta or may be heterotrophic and belong to the animal Phylum Protozoa. Often has characteristics of both plants and animals.*
