The correct Answer is:
To determine an example of a flagellate protozoan, we will analyze the options provided and identify which organism fits the criteria of being a flagellate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Characteristics of Protozoans**: - Protozoans are unicellular organisms that belong to the kingdom Protista. - They are eukaryotic, meaning they have a defined nucleus and organelles. 2. **Identify the Types of Movement in Protozoans**: - Protozoans can move using different structures: - Cilia: Short hair-like structures that help in movement (e.g., Paramecium). - Flagella: Long whip-like structures used for propulsion (e.g., Trypanosoma). - Pseudopodia: Temporary projections of the cell used for movement (e.g., Amoeba). 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Parametrium**: This organism moves using cilia, so it is not a flagellate protozoan. - **Trypanosoma**: This organism uses flagella for movement, making it a flagellate protozoan. - **Entamoeba**: This organism moves using pseudopodia, so it is not a flagellate protozoan. - **Plasmodium**: This organism does not have cilia or flagella and moves by gliding, so it is not a flagellate protozoan. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only organism from the options that qualifies as a flagellate protozoan is **Trypanosoma**. ### Final Answer: An example of a flagellate protozoan is **Trypanosoma**.
