Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most ciliophoran protozoa possess a cytostome, which is a specialized structure that helps them to capture food particles. Ciliophorans are a diverse group of protozoa that have cilia (short, hair-like structures) for locomotion and feeding. While many ciliophorans are found in marine environments, some are also found in freshwater or soil habitats. Some ciliophorans are parasitic or mutualistic, but not all of them have cyst stages for surviving harsh conditions.
