What is true of paramecia?
The Paramecium is a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa, formerly known as slipper animalcules from their slipper shape. They are commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia range from about 50 to 350 μm in length, depending on species. Simple cilia cover the body which allow the cell to move with a synchronous motion. There is also a deep oral groove containing inconspicuous compound oral cilia (as found in other peniculids) that is used to draw food inside. They generally feed upon bacteria and other small cells. Osmoregulation is carried out by a pair of contractile vacuoles, which actively expel water absorbed by osmosis from their surroundings. Paramecia are widespread in freshwater environments, and are especially common in scums. Paramecia are attracted by acidic conditions. Certain single-celled eukaryotes, such as Paramecium, are examples for exceptions to the universality of the genetic code (translation systems where a few codons differ from the standard ones).
What is photosynthetic membrane?
It consist of "photosystem".
What are the two ways paramecia can reproduce?
By asexual reproduction. Meaning that they do not need another organism to reproduce. When mitosis (a form of cell division) takes place the single-celled paramecium divides becoming two paramecia with the same genetic information.
Light excites in photosynthetic pigments?
Light excites two sets of photosynthetic pigments. These are photosystem 1 (PS1) and photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 is excited by photons at about 700 nanometers, while PS2 is excited at about 680 nanometers.
The carrying capacity for herbivores in a habitat is most directly affected by the availability of?
photosynthetic organisms.
Does a paramecia have a nuculase?
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
What does the paramecia eat?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
What food do paramecia?
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
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.
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
What kingdom are paramecia and amoeba in?
Paramecia and amoebas belong to the Kingdom Protista. This kingdom includes diverse organisms that are mostly unicellular and have distinct characteristics from plants, animals, and fungi.
What is the plural of paramecium?
Another name for paramecium is Slipper Animalcule. Lady Slippers. paramecia parameciidae.
When yeast and paramecia were together some of the yeast were ingested by the paramecia this activity is connected to which life function?
nutrition :)
How do paramecia reproduce sexually?
