Stentor

The stentor is a genus of trumpet-shaped ciliate protozoa that are often found in freshwater.

The stentor is sometimes used as a model organism in studies of cellular behavior and communication.

The stentor is able to rapidly reproduce asexually by dividing into two identical daughter cells.

The stentor is known for its ability to extend and contract its body to capture food particles.

The stentor uses its cilia to create a water current that brings in food particles.

The stentor has a distinctive trumpet-shaped body that can be up to 3 mm in length.

The stentor is capable of complex behaviors, such as swimming, crawling, and attachment to surfaces.
