Suppose you accidentally find an old preserved permanent slide without a label. In your effort to identify it, you place the slide under microscope and observe the following features :-

a. Unicellular


b. Well defined nucleus


c. Biflagellate–one flagellum lying longitudinally and the other transversely.


What would you identify it as? Can you name the kingdom it belongs to?
