How do paramecia eat?
They eat with their food vacuoles.
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 are the little hairs that cover the paramecia?
The "hairs" on a paramecium are called cilia.
Can only obtain food through consuming other organisms.?
Amoebae and paramecia
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 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.
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.
What does the paramecia eat?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
Why do paramecia have cilia?
Paramecia use their cilia for movement, feeding, and sensory functions. The cilia help propel the paramecium through its aquatic environment, sweep food particles towards its oral groove for ingestion, and detect changes in its surroundings.
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.
