Ciliates contain a variety of organelles plus two kinds of nuclei. The larger type of nucleus, the macronucleus, contains a great deal more DNA than the smaller nucleus, the micronucleus.
Most ciliates have two nuclei: a macronucleus that contains hundreds of copies of the genome and controls metabolisms, and a single small micronucleus that contains a single copy of the genome and functions in sexual reproduction.
The paramecium has two nuclei, a big and small one. The big one operates as the director of the cell's activities, rather like a little brain. The smaller one is used for reproduction.
There are two nuclei because they both do different things. The macronucleus controls the paramecium's metabolism. The micronucleus controls reproduction.
Observed in protozoa ciliates, this term refers to the characteristic of having two kinds of nuclei in one cell which each have differing genetic functions.
ciliates are heterotrophs
diatoms
Yes.
Some ciliates, like the paramecium, have contractile vacuoles that fill with water and then expel the water when they get full.

Actinosphaerium are 200 to 1000 μm in diameter, with many nuclei, and are found only in freshwater. They eat small flagellates, diminutive ciliates, and microscopic algae.
Ciliates eat with their vacuole.
ciliates are heterotrophs
Pollen grains with generative and tube nuclei have two haploid nuclei.
Paramecium has two nuclei.
Some protists have two nuclei.
Ciliates, members of the phylum Ciliophora, are considered to be the most complex of all protists. They are characterized by their distinct shape and presence of cilia, which are used for movement and feeding. Ciliates have a more sophisticated cellular structure compared to other protists, with complex organelles and nuclei.
No. Amoeba and ciliates are two groups of protozoan parasites. The amoeba are unicellular, which are characterized by the pseudopodia. Ciliates are protozoa, unicellular and use cilia on their surface.
The cellularization theory states that a unicellular organism would have developed from membrane boundaries/partitions around each nuclei from a single celled organism with multiple nuclei. Protists like ciliates and slime molds have multiple nuclei supporting this theory.
During the telophase stage of mitosis and meiosis two daughter nuclei are formed. The daughter nuclei begin forming the two ends of the cell.
