The dimorphids or heliomonads are a small group of heliozoa that are unusual in possessing flagella throughout their life-cycle. Animals Plants fungi, and Protists are eukaryotes (juːˈkærɪɒt or -oʊt Organisms whose cells are organized into complex The Rhizaria are a species-rich supergroup of Protists They vary considerably in form but for the most part they are Amoeboids with filose reticulose or microtubule-supported The Cercozoa are a group of Protists including most Amoeboids and Flagellates that feed by means of filose pseudopods Heliozoa, or sun Animalcules are roughly spherical Amoeboids with many stiff Microtubule -supported projections called Axopods radiating outward A flagellum ( plural flagella) is a tail-like structure that projects from the Cell body of certain Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells and it There are two genera: Dimorpha, a tiny organism found in freshwater, and the larger Tetradimorpha, which is distinguished by having four rather than two flagella. Bundles of microtubules, typically in square array, arise from a body near the flagellar bases and support the numerous axopods that project from the cell surface. Microtubules are one of the components of the Cytoskeleton. They have a diameter of 25 nm and length varying from 200 nanometers to 25 micrometers

Dimorphids have a single nucleus, and mitochondria with tubular cristae. In Cell biology, the nucleus (pl nuclei; from Latin la ''nucleus'' or la ''nuculeus'' "little nut" or kernel is a membrane-enclosed In Cell biology, a mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-enclosed Organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Genetic studies place them among the Cercozoa, a group including various other flagellates that form pseudopods. The Cercozoa are a group of Protists including most Amoeboids and Flagellates that feed by means of filose pseudopods Flagellates are cells with one or more whip-like organelles called flagella.
