1. From the Phylum Actinopoda
ACtinopods
From the Phylum Actinopoda

2. Basic description Unicellular protists
Mostly marine plankton organisms
Have axopods that protrude through pores in their shells
Axopods are strengthened by a cluster or microtubules

4. What do they eat?
Unicellular algae

5. How do they Eat? Actinopods use axopods to trap prey
Prey becomes entangled in axopods & is later engulfed outside the main body
Cytoplasmic streaming carries prey back within the shell

6. Do they photosynthesize?
Yes
Photosynthesize through algal endosymbionts

7. reproduction
By binary fission or budding

8. Movement
Some produce flagellated reproductive cells

9. Radiolarians Classified as an Actinopod
Some Actinopods secrete shells made of silica, which are known as radiolarians
Radiolarians are usually not visible to a light microsope
