So protests are called whirling wipe.  The nucleus has condensed chromosomes, which are without histones.  Some dinoflagellates like noctiluca show bioluminescence.  Red dinoflagellates like Gonyaulax undergo rapid multiplication and make the sea appear red[Resides in Mediterraneliansea].

Ans: Most of the euglenoids are fresh water organises found in stagnantwater.  They have a protien rich layer called pellicle which make body flexible. They have two flagella, a short and a long one.  The anterior part of the cell bears an invagination consisting of cytostome, cytopharynx and reservoir. Eye spot or photosensitive stigma is present in the reservoir.  They behave as heterotrophs when deprived in sunlight.  The reproduction is by longitudnal vinay fussing.
