Which structure of a paramecium is analogous to a reserve copy of all the cell's genes?

Micronucleus is a structure of a paramecium that is analogous to a reserve library


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.


What is function of gullet in paramecium?

Carries food from the oral groove to the food vacuole.


How does a paramecium eat?

Photosynthesis, or they eat bacteria and organic matter using their gullet.


How do yeast cells end up in the gullet of a paramecium?

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


What is the term for the indentation in the paramecium through which food particles enter?

This indentation is called the oral groove which leads to the gullet. See the link below for a diagram:


Does paramecium make their own food?

Paramecium is a genus.A phylum is a very large grouping, and in some cases different classifications use different names. Paramecium is sometimes placed in the phylum Ciliophora in the kingdom Protista.


What type of food does a paramecium eat?

Bacteria, algae, and yeasts are things that paramecium feed on. To gather its food, the paramecium put its cilia to work. Its cilia sweeps the food along with water into the cell mouth after it drops into the oral groove. The food goes within the cell mouth into the gullet, or the stomach. When the gullet has reached a definite size it breaks away and forms a food vacuole.


What are organisms that get energy like a paramecium called?

Paramecium is a unicellular organisms that belongs to kingdom protists/protista. They aren't exactly plants nor animals. They can digest food, move through water by propelling themselves with their cilia and they also reproduce.When a paramecium encounters food, it swivels to move the food into its gullet. The gullet is a small opening, like a mouth. It's lined with other cilia to help "swallow" the bits of organic or decaying matter it eats, like other unicellular organisms or bacteria. The food will continue down the gullet to get stored in food vacuoles until the cell needs energy.....Hoping you get an idea about it.....Accepts more answers for those who've passion about biology...:)

How does a paremecium eat?
