Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
heterotroph
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
No a paramecia can not live on it's own because it is a singled celled organism and would not have another paramecia to mate with.
Paramecia move with the little hairs around there body called cilia.
Heterotrophic protists are organisms that obtain their nutrients by consuming organic matter, including bacteria, other protists, and organic debris. Examples include amoebas and paramecia. In contrast, photoautotrophic protists, such as algae, can produce their own food through photosynthesis by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. These protists play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers.
the paramecia gets rid of waste by a process called exocytsis
A protist that can't make its own food is a heterotrophic protist. These protists must obtain their nutrients by consuming organic matter from their environment, such as other organisms or organic debris. Examples include amoebas, paramecia, and plasmodium.
Heterotrophic.
Animals are heterotrophic by ingestion. Fungi are heterotrophic by absorption.
