The pseudoconoid begins near the kinetosome s of the flagella and passes along the flagellate pocket into the rostrum. While feeding on prey organisms the rostrum is inserted into the body of the prey and the cytoplasm is sucked out. Known prey organisms include bodonid s, chrysomonad s, percolomonad s. Known non prey organisms include naked amoeba s, ciliate s, cryptomonad s and colorless euglenoid s.

They are usually bell or disc shaped, with a prominent paroral membrane arising from the oral cavity and circling counter clockwise around the anterior of the cell, accompanied by a smaller series of biological membrane membranelles . The oral cavity is apical and funnel shaped, with a vacuole contractile vacuole discharging directly into it. When disturbed, the anterior of the cell can contract. The rest of the body is unciliated, except for a telotroch band circling the posterior in mobile species and stages. The larger order of peritrichia are the Sessilida . Most of these have modified posterior kinetosome s which secrete a contractile stalk. The unattached stage, called a telotroch , is mouthless. These are common in both freshwater and marine environments, and many live attached to aquatic plants and animals. They are either solitary or produce branched colonies. A few secrete a Lorica biology lorica . Vorticella is one of the best known genera. Stalks may be as long as 2 mm, and in some cases where they are highly contractile can be extended up to 3 mm. The other peritrichia make up the order Mobilida . In these the posterior of the cell is enlarged and modified to form a complex holdfast, allowing the cell to temporarily attach to some host organism. Most live on the integument or gills of freshwater and marine invertebrates, but other hosts occur, including fish and even other ciliates, and other locations as well. Some can be pathenogenic in high populations. The peritrichs were first defined by Friedrich von Stein in 1859. Initial ... more details

Image Chlamydomonas TEM 09.jpg thumb right Longitudinal section through the flagella area in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . In the cell apex is the basal body that is the anchoring site for a flagellum. Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets see structure at bottom center of image . A basal body also called a basal granule or kinetosome is an organelle formed from a centriole , and a short cylindrical array of microtubules . It is found at the base of a eukaryotic undulipodium cilium or flagellum and serves as a nucleation site for the growth of the axoneme microtubules. Centrioles, from which basal bodies are derived, act as anchoring sites for proteins that in turn anchor microtubules within centrosomes , one type of microtubule organizing center MTOC . These microtubules provide structure and facilitate movement of vesicles and organelles within many eukaryotic cells. Basal bodies, however, are specifically the bases for cilia and flagella that extend out of the cell. Basal bodies are derived from centrioles through a largely mysterious process. They are structurally the same, each containing a microtubule triplet 9 3 helocoidal configuration forming a hollow cylinder. Regulation of basal body production and spatial orientation is a function of the nucleotide binding domain of tubulin. ref Y. Shang, C. C. Tsao, and M. A. Gorovsky. 2005.

Some cells in animal s may be flagellate, for instance the spermatozoa of most phylum phyla . Flowering plant s do not produce flagellate cells, but fern s, moss es, green algae , some gymnosperms and other closely related plants do. Likewise, most fungus fungi do not produce cells with flagellae, but the primitive fungal chytrid s do. Many protist s take the form of single celled flagellates. The word flagellate describe a particular construction of eukaryotic organism and its means of motion. The term does not imply any specific relationship or classification of the organisms that possess flagellae. However, the term flagellate is included in other terms such as dinoflagellate and zooflagellate which often are more formally characterized. ref name pmid8868448 cite journal author Cavalier Smith T title Zooflagellate phylogeny and classification journal Tsitologiia volume 37 issue 11 pages 1010 29 year 1995 pmid 8868448 doi url ref Form and behavior Eukaryotic flagella are supported by microtubule s in a characteristic arrangement, with nine fused pairs surrounding two central singlets. These arise from a basal body or kinetosome, with microtubule roots that are an important part of the cell s brain. In some, for instance, they support a cytostome or mouth, where food is ingested. The flagella often supports hairs, called mastigonemes, or contain rods. Their ultrastructure plays an important role in classifying eukaryote s. In protoctists and microscopic animals, flagella are generally used for propulsion. They may also be used to create ... more details
