Ciliates differ from all other protozoans in

  1. having a contractile vacuole for removing excess water
  2. having two types of nuclei
  3. using flagella for locomotion
  4. using pseudopodia for capturing prey

Answer

(2) having two types of nuclei

Solution

Ciliated protozoans (e.g., Paramoecium) are actively moving organisms with thousands of cilia and a gullet that opens to the outside.

They are unique among protozoans in having two types of nuclei — a large macronucleus (vegetative functions) and a small micronucleus (reproduction) ⇒ nuclear dimorphism.

Contractile vacuoles also occur in other freshwater protozoans (e.g., Amoeba); flagella are used by flagellated protozoans and pseudopodia by amoeboid protozoans.
