Paramecium are a single celled organism. On the side of a Paramecium is a large vacuole that looks a lot like a mouth. Swallowing water through the vacuole, the paramecium picks up small morsels of algae which pass straight into its cellular structure, as its cell wall is permeable to small solids. If you look at a Paramecium under a light microscope you will see tiny dots within it, this is the food that it has eaten.
What else can I help you with?
Do parameciums have chloroplast?
No, parameciums do not have chloroplasts. They are single-celled organisms belonging to the group of protists, and they are not capable of photosynthesis. Instead, parameciums obtain their energy by feeding on bacteria and other small organisms.
Are protists hetertrophs?
Yes they are. Protists can be Parameciums and Ameboas and they are heterotrophs.
Do parameciums have cell membranes?
Yes, parameciums have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How long do paramecium live for?
they live long now live that junk alone people dang
What does the food vacuole do in a paramecium?
The food vacuole in a paramecium is a structure that forms during phagocytosis to engulf and digest food particles. It helps break down the food into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the paramecium for energy and nutrients. Once digestion is complete, the food vacuole expels any remaining waste materials from the cell.
How does the paramecuim eat?
Parameciums ingest by using their cillias.
What does Didinum eat?
parameciums mainly and small protazoans too.
Do parameciums only swim around?
No. Parameciums, a type of ciliates, have to get energy first before they're even able to move, so these eukaryotes don't only swim around. Parameciums use their cilia (tiny hair-like organelles) to sweep food from their surroundings into their gullet, which is like a mouth. They also use their cilia for transportation.
Where do parameciums live?
parameciums live in water... (ponds, lakes, streams)
How humans are afected by parameciums?
your fat
Do parameciums have chloroplast?

Is the amoeba and paracium dangerous?
for parameciums sometime0s because it can eat bacteria your body needs.For example if your body didnt see a certain kind of deasise it will eat it before your body see's it ............................................................................this is coming from a 6 grader
Are protists hetertrophs?

Do parameciums have cell membranes?
Yes, parameciums have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How do parameciums use energy?
it swims all day and every nite
What are parameciums life span?
it depends on the type of spieces it depends on the life span
How many cells do paramecium?
Parameciums are unicellular organisms, hence they only have one cell.
