What else can I help you with?
Is a paramecium a vertebrate or invertebrate?
No, paramecium has pellicle
What is the stiff outer membrane in euglena and paramecium called?
Haha, you must be working on the protist crossword, the answer is pellicle.
What is the outer layer of the organism paramecium?
pellicle
The organism paramecium moves with and has a rigid outer covering known as?
The organism Paramecium moves with the help of hair-like structures called cilia and has a rigid outer covering known as a pellicle. The pellicle provides support and protection to the cell membrane of the Paramecium.
Where is the pellicle of a paramecium located?
The pellicle of a paramecium is located underneath the plasma membrane, providing structural support and shape to the cell. It is composed of a network of protein strips called microtubules that run parallel to the cell surface.
What is hair like structures that surround the paramecium and helps it move?
pellicle
What structure do paramecium use for protection?
PARAMECIUM have a pellicle with alveoli that helps to provide stiffness, aswell as trichocysts that can be discharged for protection. PARAMECIUM have a pellicle with alveoli that helps to provide stiffness, aswell as trichocysts that can be discharged for protection.
What is the clear elastic protein layer around the cell membrane of ciliates like the paramecium?
The clear elastic protein layer around the cell membrane of ciliates such as Paramecium is called the pellicle. This pellicle provides support and shape to the cell, allowing it to maintain its structure while enabling flexibility for movement. It also acts as a protective barrier against external threats.
Why cant the paramecium changes shape like the ameba?
because it has a thick outer membrane called the pellicle
Why cant the paramecium change shape like the ameba?
Paramecium have a rigid outer covering called a pellicle that limits their ability to change shape. Amebas, on the other hand, have a more flexible cell membrane that allows them to change shape easily in order to move and feed.
What gives shape to the paramecium and euglena?
Paramecium has a rigid outer covering called a pellicle that gives it its shape, while euglena's shape is maintained by a proteinaceous structure called the pellicle and supported by protein strips called microtubules underneath the cell membrane.
Is a paramecium an invertebrate or vertebrate?
Invertebrate, It is a single-celled organism
