The examples of alveolates, stramenopiles, and excavates having medical and culinary importance.
Introduction:
Alveolates are a group of protists, which possess alveoli beneath their cell surface. The alveolate groups consist of dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, ciliates, and others.
Stramenopiles are eukaryotes that possess flagella. It includes the photosynthetic diatoms, brown algae, and the nonphotosynthetic oomycetes.
Excavates are unicellular eukaryotes and many of them lack mitochondria and are
