Ciliophora (Paramecium): Protozoans with Cilia
-Protozoa (animal-like)
-Moves by constant beating of Cilia
-Obtains food through the mouth pore; feeds on bacteria
-Food travels from the mouth pore to the gullet, where it is enclosed by a food vacuole. From there, enzymes break down the food and the nutrients diffuse into the cytoplasm
-Waste leaves through the anal pore
-Contractile Vacuole removes excess water
-Live in all types of aquatic environments
-Reproduce through binary fission (asexual)in good conditions; when food is low or environment changes, they reproduce through conjugation (sexual)
