Answers
general features of ciliated protozoans are given below
Explanation:
1).many ciliates live as free living individual in fresh and marine water example paramecium.
2) the body of ciliated protozoans are covered with flexible pellicle.
3). nutrition is holozoic except in some parasitic form.
4). they have small ejectable trichocyst for defence.
5). osmoregulation occurs by contractile vacuoles.
6). Follow me
Answer:
he cilia are usually arranged in rows, known as kineties, on the pellicle (cell covering), but they may fuse together near the cytostome (cell mouth) of some species to form membranelles or undulating membranes (various sheetlike or fan-shaped groupings of cilia); elsewhere on the pellicle, cilia may form limblike tufts called cirri. Most ciliates have a flexible pellicle and contractile vacuoles, and many contain toxicysts or other trichocysts, small organelles with thread- or thorn-like structures that can be discharged for anchorage, for defense, or for capturing prey.
