Protists: Ciliates and Zooflagellates

The video tutorial discusses two groups of protists: ciliates and zooflagellates. Ciliates use tiny hair-like structures called cilia to move and feed, exemplified by the paramecium. Zooflagellates, on the other hand, move using a whip-like structure called a flagellum. The video highlights Giardia, a zooflagellate that can cause intestinal issues when ingested through contaminated water. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring water safety while hiking or camping.
