Re: Stentor or vorticella? When a stentor gets too large, it divides in half. Sizes are 1 to 2 mm one of the largest protists. Stentor belongs to Protozoa Animal like Protista. Its Phyllum is Ciliophora. Stentors are one-celled protozoans. A stentor can retract its body into a ball to hide. Look for a blue-green ball or a trumpet shape. A stentor waves the cilia around its mouth and sweep in food.
Size 1 to 2 mm one of the largest protists eduplace. Stentor's, a type of ciliate, are filter feeders. They passively eat bacteria and algae that are swept in their direction. The large Stentor's, however, are reported to opportunistically eat rotifers or anything else that they can catch. Stentor is considered to be a type of unicellular organism. These protozoans are considered the largest of the unicellular organisms.
Le stentor cell est -il un vivant ou un non vivant? The cell stentor - is it a living or non living thing? Stentor are listed as unicellular. They are often described as the largest unicellular organism.
They are not, as previously noted, earthworms. Log in. Animal Life. The Difference Between. Study now. See Answer. Best Answer. Study guides. Science 20 cards. Who is known as the first African American scientist.

Stentor are omnivorous heterotrophs.
Typically, they feed on bacteria or other protozoans. Because of their large size, they are also capable of eating some of the smallest multicelluar organisms, such as rotifers. Stentor typically reproduces asexually through binary fission. They can also reproduce sexually via conjugation. Stentor usually inhabit freshwater environments. They ingest and form photosynthetic relationships with algae, causing them to have a blue or green color.
Stentor coeruleus exhibits a behavior called photodispersal. These organisms swim away from light and prefer to inhabit dim areas. To escape light, Stentor coeruleus reverses the direction of its ciliary beat to change direction and reorient itself.
Research done on Stentor illustrates that these organsisms can escape from tubes with increasing frequency after multiple trials. It was suggested that this behavior might be associative learning. However, Hinkle and Wood illustrated that this was not the case.
