A paramecium obtains food by using its cilia to force water down into the gullet. Particles that enter the gullet are then forced into cavities called food vacuoles.
The digestive enzymes in the food vacuoles then digest the food particles

∙ 12y agoWhen a paramecium encounters a food source, it uses cilia to sweep the food into its oral groove.* The food moves along the groove to the gullet.
Related Information:
* This groove is not the same as a mouth, leading to a digestive track, as in other animals and humans. It only resembles a mouth because it is a cavity where the food enters.
The gullet serves as a temporary storage facility.

Is the anterior end of Paramecium rounded or pointed?
the anterior end of Paramecium is rounded.
Does the paramecium have a front end?
Good question but, I believe the correct phrasing would be does a front end have the paramecium.
End product of the yeast fermentation?
Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide.
How does a paramecium digest?
yes they do ----------------------- how they digest- if interested... credit: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080314060010AAHwv5K OKIM IM's original work Paramecia feed on microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and yeasts. To gather its food, the paramecium uses its cilia to sweep the food along with some water into the cell mouth after it falls into the oral groove. The food goes through the cell mouth into the gullet, which is like the stomach. When enough food has accumulated, it breaks away and forms a food vacuole. The food vacuole travels through the cell, through the back end first. As it moves along, enzymes from the cytoplasm enter the vacuole and digest it. The digested food then goes into the cytoplasm and the vacuole gets smaller and smaller. When the vacuole reaches the anal pore the remaining undigested waste is removed.In the case of paramecium, ingestion is getting the food particle into the food vacuole. Digestion is the enzymatic breakdown of food.
What are cells at the end of meiosis?

What is the answer of assuming one yeast cell buds into two cells at a rate of once every hour how many yeast cells will be present from one yeast cell after 8 hours?
at the end of the first hour there are two cellsat the end of the second hour there are four cellsat the end of the third hour there are eight cellsat the end of the fourth hour there are sixteen cellsat the end of the fifth hour there are thirty two cellsat the end of the sixth hour there are sixty four cellsat the end of the seventh hour there are one hundred twenty eight cellsat the end of the eighth hour there are two hundred fifty six cellsStill much too small to be a visible colony to the naked eye!!!
Where does food collects to form food vacuoles in paramecium?
At the end of the oral groove.
What are some other facts about yeast?
1. Yeast is an edible fungi. 2. The carbon dioxide it releases creates bumps when being feed something. 3. Yeast is in fact woken up when water is mixed with it. 4. Yeast is very tiny 10 to 20 yeast cells could fit on the end of a piece of hair!!! 5. Sugars release a ton of carbon dioxide in yeast, when feed to it. (I'm doing a science project on this stuff)
What can I use as a substitute to yeast starting with x?
There is really no perfect substitution for yeast. Yeast has certain properties that can only be found in yeast, and using substitutions may not give you the end result that you want.
How do yeast release energy and what is the end products?
jingslala
Is bread made up of one or more molecules?
It depends. For producers, they make their own food out of sunlight and environmental compounds. So in this case no the "food" does not have cells. For consumers (which eat producers), then yes their food stats off in or as cells.
What is likely result if you are use yeast that has not been properly activated?
The purpose of yeast is to raise the dough when it is cooked. If yeast is not working then, you'll end up with unrisen or flat bread.
End product of the yeast fermentation?
Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide.
