Ciliophora Flashcards
The phylum Ciliophora has over …. species and they constitute the …. and most …. group of ….
They contain the most …. and highly …. group of Protozoans.
They are commonly referred to as …. They exhibit a high level of … and their …. are called cilia. The cilia are .., …. of the ….
A notable example is …..
The phylum Ciliophora has over six thousand species and they constitute the largest and most homogenous group of protozoans.
They contain the most complex an highly organised group of Protozoans.
They are commonly referred to as ciliates. They exhibit a high level of organelle development and their locomotory organelles are called cilia. The cilia are short, permanent protrusion of the cytoplasm.
A notable example is Paramecium

Paramecium is found in …. that contains … and …
They have … due to the presence of a ….
Most of them are ….
They have … types of nuclei; the …. and the …
Asexual reproduction in paramecium involves ….
The endoplasm contains the ….,
…., locomotion is by ….
Paramecium feeds on …. or … especially ….
Structure of Paramecium I
Paramecium is found in fresh water ponds that contains decaying organic remains and leaves.
They have definite body shape due to the presence of a firm pellicle.
Most of them are free living.
They have two types of nuclei; the macronucleus and the micronucleus.
Asexual reproduction in paramecium involves transverse fission.
The endoplasm contains the food vacuole, two nuclei, locomotion is by ciliary movement.
Paramecium feeds on small dead or living organic particles especially bacteria.
Structure Of Paramecium II
The cilia of the …. sets up a …. that draws …. towards it and attracts it to the ….
Digestion is in the …. and egestion is through the …
The pathway of movement of food in the cytoplasm is called ….
Gaseous exchange is through the …. because it has no ….
Waste products also …. through the …
The two …. perform …
They empty their …. through a … in the …. Asexual reproduction by …. and sexually by …
Structure Of Paramecium II
The cilia of the oral groove sets up a current that draws bacteria towards it and attracts it to the buccal cavity.
Digestion is in the food vacuole and egestion is through the cytoproct.
The pathway of movement of food in the cytoplasm is called cyclosis.
Gaseous exchange is through the cytoplasm because it has no respiratory organ.
Waste products also diffuse through the cytoplasm.
The two contractile vacuoles perform osmoregulation.
They empty their waste solutions through a pore in the pellicle.
Asexual reproduction by transverse fission and sexually by conjugation.
