The Alveolates



The ciliates, apicomplexa and dinoflagellites are common in two ways
 * 1) They all have these saclike structures called alveoli on the inside surface of their plasma membrane.
 * 2) They all have close homology in their gene sequence.

A​ dinoflagella walks into a protist bar and orders a club atom.

The waiter,who is a metopus, asks about his life.

The dinoflagella tells her that he was just born and that his flagella is growing smoothly. His mother told him he'd look like a

ball. The metopus proceeds to throw up her lunch Dinoflagella: Was it something I said?
