300

Cilia serve three important purposes for ciliates.  (100 pts for each purpose)

 1. Sense their surroundings

2. Movement

3. Sweep food into the food (into the oral groove).

400

The nucleus of a paramecium that controls the ciliates life functions.

What is the large nucleus?

500

A "good" final cause of these protists exists in their symbiotic relationship with wood eating insects as they live in the insect's intestines and aid with dissection.

What are zooflagellates?
