Best Answer

A large nucleus called a macronucleus controls the functions of the cell. A smaller nucleus, the micronucleus, passes genes to another paramecium during sexual reproduction.

Do parameciums only swim around?

No. Parameciums, a type of ciliates, have to get energy first before they're even able to move, so these eukaryotes don't only swim around. Parameciums use their cilia (tiny hair-like organelles) to sweep food from their surroundings into their gullet, which is like a mouth. They also use their cilia for transportation.
