Civil liberties are personal guarantees and freedoms that the government cannot abridge, either by law or by judicial interpretation without due process.
Ciliophora. A subphylum of the Protozoa. The ciliates are a fairly homogeneous group of highly differentiated, unicellular organisms. Over 5000 species have been described, and many more surely exist but remain to be discovered. Typically, ciliates are larger than most other protozoans, ranging from 10 to 3000 micrometers (about 1/2500 to 1/8 in.).
Ciliate - Cell structure. 1  Unlike most other eukaryotes, ciliates have two different sorts of nuclei: a tiny, diploid micronucleus (the generative nucleus, which carries the germline of the cell), and a large, polyploid macronucleus (the vegetative nucleus, which takes care of general cell regulation, expressing the phenotype of the organism).
