ciliateiksi
Ciliates are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are characterized by the presence of cilia, which are hair-like structures used for movement and feeding. They are found in various aquatic environments, including freshwater, marine, and soil. Ciliates belong to the phylum Ciliophora, which is further divided into several classes based on their morphology and behavior.
The structure of a typical cilium is a microtubule-based organelle that extends from the cell surface and
Ciliates play important roles in aquatic ecosystems. They are primary consumers, feeding on bacteria, algae, and
Ciliates are studied for their biological significance and potential applications in various fields. Their unique cellular
