Paramecium are single-celled organisms that typically live independently rather than in colonies. They are part of the phylum Ciliophora and are characterized by their cilia, which they use for movement and feeding. While they may gather in groups in favorable environments, they do not exhibit true colonial behavior like some other microorganisms.
Paramecium absorbs oxygen directly from its surroundings through a process called diffusion. Oxygen from the water enters the paramecium's cell membrane and diffuses into the cytoplasm, where it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
The scientific name for paramecium is Paramecium spp.
The Latin name for paramecium is Paramecium caudatum.
Another name for paramecium is Slipper Animalcule. Lady Slippers. paramecia parameciidae.
Negative chemotaxis, which refers to the movement of an organism away from a chemical stimulus. In this case, the paramecium is exhibiting a negative response by moving away from the chemical added to the microscope slide.
