"... Another organelle used by numerous protozoa for movement is the flagellum (see protozoan motility). Flagella are equivalent to cilia except that they tend to be longer and are generally fewer in number. Movement is accomplished through a whip-like action of the flagella. Protozoa exhibiting flagella are collectively called flagellates. However, this is a very diverse group and does not reflect phylogenetic relationships
Euglena are a prototypic flagellate with a single flagellum emerging from one end. The euglenoids are also claimed by phycologist and botanist as being algae since they have chloroplasts and are notably green (see taxonomy). Flagella can also be modified. For example, the membrane enclosed flagellum can fold back along the body of the organism and form an 'undulating membrane'. This undulating membrane is a fin-like structure which greatly enhances mobility. Many members of the kinetoplastids, a sister group to the euglenoids, exhibit an undulating membrane during their life cycle. Trypanosoma gambiense is just one of the kinetoplastid species which cause human disease. ..."
