What is the difference between an amoeba and a ciliate shoe?

To begin with, both the amoeba and the ciliate shoe are the simplest or unicellular, that is, living organisms that consist of one cell, but the process of their vital activity occurs as in a full-fledged organism.

Differences between these simplest:

– the movement of the amoeba is carried out using pseudopods or pseudopodia, while the ciliates have cilia for movement;

– the body shape of the amoeba is in constant change, in contrast to the ciliate, whose cell has a constant shape;

– the ciliate shoe has 2 cores – large and small, and the amoeba has one core;

– for the implementation of the feeding process, the ciliates have a mouth and a pharynx, and the amoeba captures food with the help of pseudopods.

– the division of the ciliates begins with a small nucleus.
