Paramecia are smaller than Amoebas. They move with the help of microscopic hair-like structures called cilia, which act like oars to push them through the water. They swim by rotating slowly and changing directions often. If the Parameciumcomes upon an obstacle, it stops, swims backwards, and then angles itself forward on a slightly different course. Cilia help the Paramecium move as well as feed. When the Parameciafeed, it does so by drawing its food into a funnel-shaped opening called the oral groove that is lined with cilia. The oral groove is like a mouth, taking food in with the help of cilia, which direct and move the food inward.

∙ 15y agoyes it can but to know how you will have to look it up i mean that is what i am doing know but i knew that a paramecium eats off the top of my head

Does a paramecia have a nuculase?
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
What kingdom are paramecia and amoeba in?
Paramecia are in the kingdom of protists.
Paramecia are heterotrophs explain this statement?
They are stupid
What is the movement of the paramecium?
Paramecia move cilia on their outsides rhythmically. Because of the disruption in the cell surface caused by the oral groove, paramecia swim in a spiral.
Is this statement true or false paramecia have more than one nucleus?
This statement is true because paramecia have two nuclei,one big and one small.
What does the paramecia eat?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
How do paramecia eat?
They eat with their food vacuoles.
What does paramecia eat?
They feed of micro-organisms like bacteria, yeasts and algae
Is paramecia photosynthetic?
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
Does a paramecia have a nuculase?
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
What food do paramecia?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
What kingdom are paramecia and amoeba in?
Paramecia are in the kingdom of protists.
Can a paramecia live on its own?
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.
Is paramecium heterotrophic or autotrophic?
heterotroph
How do paramecia?
Paramecia move with the little hairs around there body called cilia.
How does a paramecia get rid of waste?
the paramecia gets rid of waste by a process called exocytsis
When yeast and paramecia were together some of the yeast were ingested by the paramecia this activity is connected to which life function?
nutrition :)
