While Blepharisma are single-celled, they are complex organisms with specialized structures within their single cell, such as:
* Nucleus: Contains the genetic material of the cell.
* Cilia: Short, hair-like structures that help the organism move.
* Contractile vacuoles: Help regulate water balance within the cell.
* Food vacuoles: Store food particles before they are digested.
So, while Blepharisma is a single cell, it is far from simple!
