Ill mark brainliest ciliates get food by (1 point) a.) surrounding a cell or particle and taking it inside themselves. b.) absorbing molecules from the environment through their cell membranes. c.) forming a plasmodium to get food. d.) sweeping food particles into their gullet.

The answer is D.) sweeping food particles into their gullet.

The right option is; D.) sweeping food particles into their gullet.  

Ciliates get food by sweeping food particles into their gullet.

Ciliates are a group of protozoans of the class Cilliata that are distinguished by the presence of hair-like organelles known as cilia. Most ciliates are heterotrophs; obtains their energy by feeding on smaller organisms or organic matter which they sweep though the mouth pore into their gullet with the aid of modified oral cilia. They use their cilia in feeding, movement, attachment, and sensation.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.

the function of the protein macromolecule is to move things in and out of the cell and transport other molecules in the body. there are many functions of proteins. they are the basic building blocks of living things and are responsible for the growth and repair of body cells and tissues.
