Ciliated Protozoans
Although single-celled, there is nothing primitive or simple about these protists
Not only are they large for single cells (some can be seen by the
unaided eye), but they contain organelles that parallel in the function
the organs of multicellular creatures. In fact, some biologists
consider the ciliates to be acellular
(not cellular) rather than unicellular in order to emphasize that their
"body" is far more elaborate in its organization than any cell out of
which multicellular organisms are made.
