Why do paramecia have cilia?
They are used for movement and the capturing of food.
How do paramecia get their food?
The cilia on a paramecium create currents in its environment that draw food towards the paramecium. The food is then collected into its oral groove, which will later be put into a cavity, which will later be turned into a vacuole. Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
What does paramecia use as defense?
they use water and food but are still herotorrophs
What does it mean by paramecia are heterotrophs?
An heterotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food. To get food a paramecia acually sticks out its false foot to fell around and when it feels something it wraps itself around it and if it isn't food it basically just spits it out.

Binary Fission
Does a paramecia have a nuculase?
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
What does the paramecia eat?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
What is the Gullet in a Paramecia?
The gullet in a paramecium is a vacuole within the organism that is formed through invagination of food.
Are paramecium autogroph?
Autotrophs are producers, organisms able to make their own food such as plants or microorganisms which contain chlorophyll, for example. Paramecia are predators, not able to manufacture their own food, but consume other microorganisms. So, no, paramecia are not autotrophs.
