history. They can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions including high and low temperatures and great variations in moisture content. They can be found in freshwater and
marine environments, in snow, and even within other organisms in either a symbiotic or a parasitic relationship (Fox, 1983). Dinoflagellates are eukaryotes
(a classification which in itself can be separated into the four kingdoms of animals, plants, fungi, and protists or protoctists) (Eukaryota: Systematics, 2005). Cells, of course, are divided
into two major categories according to their internal anatomy, the prokaryon and the eukaryon (Arnett and Bazinet, 1977). The prokaryon cells have only one cell membrane, which is the
outer covering of the cell, therefore the genetic material is not separated from the rest of the material within the cell (Arnett and Bazinet, 1977). The eukaryon contains a
system of membranes separating the component organelles from the cytoplasm and, in particular, the nucleus from the cytoplasm (Arnett and Bazinet, 1977).
Dinoflagellates, of course, belong to the protista kingdom within the Eukaryote classification (Eukaryota: Systematics, 2005). This incredibly diverse kingdom is interesting because it members are polyphyletic (Eukaryota: Systematics,
2005). In other words they can be closer related to either the plant or animal kingdom than they are other protistas (Eukaryota: Systematics, 2005).
Never-the-less, protistas (and the dinoflagellates that the kingdom encompasses) are neither plant, animal or fungus and so have been lumped into this one all-encompassing category (Eukaryota:
Systematics, 2005). They are characterized by the lack of complex development from embryos and the lack of extensive cell differentiation (Eukaryota: Systematics, 2005).
