Ciliates > 7,000 spp
-Shape: Mostly elongated
-Locomotion: tiny, hair like projections (part or whole thing/ beat in unison)
-Food: Holozoic, engulf food whole (through cytosome: mouth opening/ uses cilia to move food)
-Reproduction: Asexual, mostly
•type of reproduction:
—conjunctional: response to stress at cytosome and exchange micro-nuclei
—contractile vacuoles: fresh water organisms, acts as a water pump
Ex: Paramecium
Cytosome
Mouth opening
Conjugation
Response to stress join at cytosome and exchange micro nuclei
