Dinoflagellates are unicellular eukaryotic organisms having two flagella. They have characteristics of both plants and animals. They are autotroph or heterotroph. They are also found as endosymbiont in red algae. The colour varies depending on the pigments present in them. They are bioluminescent and cause red tide.
