The cell wall has stiff cellulose plates on the outer surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Dinoflagellates are biflagellated organisms, meaning they possess two flagella rather than one. These flagella are arranged uniquely: one lies longitudinally and the other transversely in a furrow (groove) between the cellulose wall plates. This arrangement creates a characteristic spinning or "whirling" motion.
