Dinoflagellates were first described as animal-like protists in the 19th century, but are now recognized as members of the kingdom Protista.
Dinoflagellates are unicellular algae with two flagella, one of which is used for locomotion and the other for feeding.
The flagella of dinoflagellates are located in a groove called the cingulum, which encircles the cell.
Dinoflagellates are mostly marine, but some species can be found in freshwater habitats.
