Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- AMost of the euglenoids live in running fresh water while Dinoflagellates are mostly marine.
- BEuglenoids carry same pigments as that of higher plants
- CAmoeboid protozoans live in fresh water, sea water or moist soil
- DMarine amoeboids have silica shells on their surface
Correct answer
A. Most of the euglenoids live in running fresh water while Dinoflagellates are mostly marine.
Step-by-step solution
Euglenoids are members of the kingdom Protista. They live in stagnant freshwater. They show mixotrophic nutrition i.e. autotrophic as well as heterotrophic nutrition. In the presence of sunlight, they are autotrophic (having photosynthetic pigments similar to higher plants) while in absence of sunlight they are heterotrophic and show predation. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine members.
