NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Similar in structure to eukaryotic flagella, the cilia move water across the cell and contribute to both locomotion and food capture. Another morphologically distinguishing character of ciliates is nuclear dimorphism, in which each cell has a least one macronucleus and one micronucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ciliates are single-celled organisms that move using short hair-like structures called cilia. These structures allow them to crawl, swim and eat. Ciliates live in humid environments, such as the pond in your backyard. Ciliates are single-celled organisms that move using short hair-like structures called cilia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Members of the phylum Ciliophora move by means of cilia. The organisms are all heterotrophic and have specialized organelles in their cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paramecium: a group of protozoa, or single-celled organisms. Paramecium move with cilia, so they are called ciliates.
