What else can I help you with?
Where is food contain in a paramecium?
food is contain in the vacuole <3
What kind of vacuole does the paramecium contain?
nucleus
Do cells contain paramecia?
A paramecium is an organism.
What structures provide locomotion in paramecium?
Paramecium contain cilia (hair like growth), all around their cell that helps them to move.
Does paramecium contain no specialized cells?
yes it does not have any specialized cells
What is the jelly like fluid called that is inside the paramecium?
cytoplasm
What happens when the Paramecium gets close to the salt?
When a Paramecium gets close to salt, it will experience a process called osmosis. Salt has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the Paramecium, so water will move out of the Paramecium through osmosis to try to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane. This loss of water can cause the Paramecium to shrink or even die if the salt concentration is too high.
What would happen if you made the solute concentrationoutside the paramecium the same as that inside it?
If the solute concentration outside the paramecium matched that inside, the surrounding environment would become isotonic to the paramecium's internal environment. In this scenario, there would be no net movement of water into or out of the paramecium, preventing any osmotic stress. The paramecium would maintain its shape and volume, as the balance of osmotic pressure would stabilize its internal conditions.
Does paramecium have lysosome?
Yes, paramecium does have lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials within the cell. They play a crucial role in digestion and cellular recycling in paramecium.
Is fresh water hypotonic or hypertonic to paramecium?
Freshwater is hypotonic to paramecium, which means it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the paramecium. As a result, water enters the paramecium through osmosis, potentially causing it to swell. To regulate this influx of water and maintain osmotic balance, paramecium possess contractile vacuoles that expel excess water.
Where does the paramecium store his food?
A paramecium stores its food in small vacuoles within its cytoplasm. These vacuoles form when the paramecium engulfs food particles through a process called phagocytosis. Once inside the vacuoles, enzymes help digest the food for energy.
A Paramecium feeds by the process of?
Paramecium feed mostly on bacteria, which are driven into the gullet by the cilia. feed on small organisms such as bacteria and even other smaller protozoa.I don't know if the process has a name.
