Answer: One of the most striking features of many protist species is the presence of some type of locomotory organelle, easily visible under a light microscope. A few forms can move by gliding or floating, although the vast majority move by means of “whips” or small “hairs” known as flagella or cilia, respectively. (Those organelles give their names to informal groups—flagellates and ciliates—of protists.) A lesser number of protists employ pseudopodia. Those same organelles may be used in feeding as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not all protists use flagella or cilia to move. Give an example of another way protists move and identify the type of protist that uses that mode of movement.
