Ciliates differ from all other protozoan's in

Ciliates differ from all other protozoan's inCiliates differ from all other protozoan's in

Options

  1. AUsing pseudopodia for capturing prey
  2. BHaving a contractile vacuole for removing excess water
  3. CUsing flagella for locomotion
  4. DHaving two types of nuclei

Correct answer

D. Having two types of nuclei

Step-by-step solution

Ciliates differ from all other protozoans in having two types of nuclei. These two nuclei are usually of different sizes, i.e., one is meganucleus and the other is micronucleus. The former controls metabolism whereas the latter is concerned with reproductions, e.g., Paramecium.

In other protozoans, like Amoeba, a single nucleus is present which is involved in metabolism and reproduction. Other options are incorrect because Ciliates use filter-feeding mechanism for obtaining food. Like other protozoans, they also possess contractile vacuoles. Ciliates use cilia for locomotion.
