Why do paramecia have cilia?
They are used for movement and the capturing of food.
Why do cells need energy oxygen and food?
So they can survive, And reproduce
Do bacteria obtain food and reproduce like the way fungi do?
yes
Why organisms must have food?
Because food is a source of energy and it also supplies cells with oxygen
What is a chameleons limiting factor?
Food supplies can be one limiting factor.
What food do paramecia?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
How do paramecia eat?
They eat with their food vacuoles.
Why do paramecia have cilia?
They are used for movement and the capturing of food.
How do paramecia get their food?
The cilia on a paramecium create currents in its environment that draw food towards the paramecium. The food is then collected into its oral groove, which will later be put into a cavity, which will later be turned into a vacuole. Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
What does paramecia use as defense?
they use water and food but are still herotorrophs
What does it mean by paramecia are heterotrophs?
An heterotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food. To get food a paramecia acually sticks out its false foot to fell around and when it feels something it wraps itself around it and if it isn't food it basically just spits it out.
Can only obtain food through consuming other organisms.?
Amoebae and paramecia
What is the Gullet in a Paramecia?
The gullet in a paramecium is a vacuole within the organism that is formed through invagination of food.
Are paramecium autogroph?
Autotrophs are producers, organisms able to make their own food such as plants or microorganisms which contain chlorophyll, for example. Paramecia are predators, not able to manufacture their own food, but consume other microorganisms. So, no, paramecia are not autotrophs.
Why do amoebas and paramecia need moving parts?
These organisms would need food to survive.
How is paramecia more complex than amoebas?
Complexity of paramecium over amoeba. Amoeba has no definite shape, moves by pseudopodia and must capture its food with cytoplasmic projections. They reproduce by binary fission alone. Whereas Paramecia contain a pellicle that gives it a more defined shape. It possesses cilia for movement, nuclei and awell defined mouth pore for food to enter. It also contains 2 stationary contractile vacuoles that helps maintain homeostasis. It is capable of reproduction in two different ways: conjugation and binary fission.
Why are Paramecia heterotrophic?
Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
