Paramecia are smaller than Amoebas. They move with the help of microscopic hair-like structures called cilia, which act like oars to push them through the water. They swim by rotating slowly and changing directions often. If the Parameciumcomes upon an obstacle, it stops, swims backwards, and then angles itself forward on a slightly different course. Cilia help the Paramecium move as well as feed. When the Parameciafeed, it does so by drawing its food into a funnel-shaped opening called the oral groove that is lined with cilia. The oral groove is like a mouth, taking food in with the help of cilia, which direct and move the food inward.
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
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.
Another name for paramecium is Slipper Animalcule. Lady Slippers. paramecia parameciidae.
The "hairs" on a paramecium are called cilia.
This statement is true because paramecia have two nuclei,one big and one small.
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
They eat with their food vacuoles.
They feed of micro-organisms like bacteria, yeasts and algae
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
heterotroph
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.
Paramecia move with the little hairs around there body called cilia.
the paramecia gets rid of waste by a process called exocytsis
