Where does a vorticella lives?
The vorticella live in freshwater ponds because freshwater ponds provide enough bacteria for them to live on
How do vorticella move?
The Vorticella move by their cilia. Cilia are tiny hair-like things that, on this protist, line the oral groove. The Vorticella also have stalks that attach them to plant matter, and inside that stalk is a contractile fiber called a myoneme. When feeling threatened, the Vorticella contracts its single myoneme, which coils the stalk like a spring. After a few seconds, the stalk should uncoil, and might go back into a spring shape if it still feels threatened. Im sorry, both of you are partly wrong. If you look it up, the Vorticella is placed into the phylum Ciliophora, because it has cilia. If it had a flagella, it would have been placed into the phylum Mastigophora. If it had pseudopods, it would have been placed in the phylum Sarcodina. But, the Vorticella IS attached to a plant (well, plant matter).Trust me on this, I know. I am thirteen years old (well, will be in 13 days). I am a seventh grader learning all about the different protists. I am doing a project on the Vorticella, and I do have a few worksheets in front of me that tell all about the different protists, including the Vorticella. There are about 16 different kinds of Vorticella, but they all have cilia and stalks, and that's how they move.More information about the Vorticella is that it measures to about 100 microns (micrometers), which is one-tenth of a millimeter. It is shaped like a long-stemmed tulip, and when the myoneme contracts, the stalk looks like a spring, and the body with the vacuoles and the nucleus turns into a circular shape, until the stalk uncoils, and the main body reforms its shape, then it is back to looking like a tulip.-Crsscntrygrl6245 C:

What does a vorticella eat?
VARTISELLA organism with a conspicuous ring of cilia (hairlike processes) on the oral end and a contractile unbranched stalk on the aboral end; cilia usually are not found between the oral and aboral ends. Vorticellas eat bacteria and small protozoans and live in fresh or salt water attached to aquatic plants, surface scum, submerged objects, or aquatic animals.in short it is a comsumer which eat other organism
