Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All the statements below are true about Ciliophora except
A
they are heterotrophic
B
they move by pseudopodia
C
they have cilia
D
they are free-living
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protists use cilia, pseudopods, or flagella to move.

Detailed explanation-2: -A few forms can move by gliding or floating, although the vast majority move by means of “whips” or small “hairs” known as flagella or cilia, respectively. (Those organelles give their names to informal groups-flagellates and ciliates-of protists.) A lesser number of protists employ pseudopodia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the important locomotory organelles in protists are flagella, cilia and pseudopodia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.
