A Bikont is a eukaryotic cell with two flagella. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

A flagellum (plural, flagella) is a whip-like organelle that many unicellular organisms, and some multicellular ones, use to move about. ...
Some research suggests that a unikont (a eukaryotic cell with a single flagellum) was the ancestor of opisthokonts and Amoebozoa, and a bikont was the ancestor of Archaeplastida, Excavata, Rhizaria, and Chromalveolata. Subgroups Mycetozoa(slime moulds) Archamoebae Pelobiontida Entamoebida Gymnamoebia Various others The Amoebozoa are a major group of amoeboid protozoa, including the majority that move by means of internal cytoplasmic flow. ...
The Archaeplastida are a major line of eukaryotes, comprising the land plants, green and red algae, and a small group called the glaucophytes. ...
This article is about the protist group called excavates. ...
The Rhizaria are a major line of protists. ...
Chromalveolates are a hypothetical grouping of eukaryotes, comprising the Chromista and alveolates, suggested by Tom Cavalier-Smith. ...
