Q.

Ciliates differ from all other protozoans in                [2018]

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

Ciliates differ from other protozoans in having two types of nuclei: macronucleus and micronucleus (nuclear dimorphism). E.g., Paramecium has a macronucleus which controls metabolic activities as well as growth and a micronucleus that takes part in reproduction.
