How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
What is paramecium-?
Paramecia are single cell organisms usually less than one hundredth inch long. They are a genus of protozoa of the phylum Ciliophora. They feed mostly on bacteria.Paramecium is a member of a group of unicellular slipper shaped ciliate protozoa called Paramecia.
Members of the Protista kingdom contain multi-celled organisms such as kelp and single-celled organisms such as?
paramecia(:
How do unicellular organism move?
Unicellular organisms move in a variety of ways. Paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hairs that act like oars and propel the organism along. Bacteria move by rotating a flagellum that looks a bit like oars and propel the organism These organisms "swim" along. An amoeba moves by changing shape and forcing its cytoplasm into extensions called pseudopods. - s delacruz
What are the euglena paramecia and amoeba all made of?
Protists. If you want even more detail they are Protozoa.
Are paramecia unicellular organisms?
Yes
Why do amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles?
Amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation. This is a process which gives these organisms that live in fresh water ability to regulate water balance.
What organelle is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells?
Centriole, lysosomes, and cilia.
How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
What unicellular cell uses the cilia to move?
Paramecia!

What kingdom is paramecia in?
Paramecia belong to the kingdom of protists, which are unicellular or multicellular organisms that live in or near water. Some protists can be plant-like in that some can perform photosynthesis, and some are animal-like in that their cell's organelles resemble those in animal cells.
Is paramecia photosynthetic?
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
What is the contractile vacuoles physiological function in amoeba and paramecia?
They have an excretory function.They remove excess water from cells.
Euglenas and paramecia are examples of which organisms?
protists
Paramecia possess a A nucleus b Flagella c A contractile vacuole d A and C e All of the above?
All of the above
What are the representatives of kingdom protista?
Protists can include various representatives such as amoebas, paramecia, euglenas, diatoms, and dinoflagellates. They are a diverse group of mostly unicellular organisms that don't fit into the other kingdoms of life.
