How is Ameoba different from stentor?

Answer 1

Amoeba and Stentor are both single-celled organisms, but they belong to different groups and exhibit distinct characteristics. Amoeba is an irregularly shaped protist that moves and feeds using pseudopodia (temporary projections of the cell). In contrast, Stentor is a ciliated protist with a Trumpet-like shape and relies on its numerous hair-like structures (cilia) for movement and feeding. Additionally, Amoeba primarily captures food through phagocytosis, while Stentor uses its cilia to create water currents that direct food particles to its oral opening.
