What is the meaning of Paramecium?

Answer 1

Paramecium look like little peanuts or slippers, with one end coming to a point. They are very tiny, (about 0.02 in) and you will need to look under a microscope to see one, and it is very difficult as they move quickly.

Answer 2

Paramecium is a single-celled organism that belongs to the group of protozoans. They are characterized by their oblong shape and cilia that they use for movement and feeding. Paramecium can be found in freshwater environments and are an important part of the aquatic food chain.

Answer 3

A paramecium is a single celled organism that falls into the protist group Ciliophora. It has an oval shaped body & a reddish color. It reproduces by binary fission which is basically "splitting" into 2; creating an identical copy of the original. There is no specific gender to the paramecium. It has microscopic hairs otherwise known as flagella that help it move. Also, the paramecium has no sense of smell or sight, so it uses the flagella to detect the presence of danger or moving into an area with a different temperature. If you have ever seen one that moves up, backs up, makes a sharp turn, then goes up again, it is caused by the aforementioned lack of vision & sight that other living organisms possess.

Answer 4

PARAMECIUM: its a single celled organism, belonging to family protista, less than one-hundParameciumredth inch long. It can digest food, moves through water by the help of cilia (much like eyelashes, common in single-celled organisms, responsible for protecting a body from germs and to help in locomotion.) resembles sole of a shoe/slipper.

Physical Appearance: since they are too tiny(0.2 inches or 0.5 mm long ) to be properly viewed by a naked eye, it can be better viewed by a microscope. they move through liquids,

AMOEBA: A unicellular organism, belonging to the family of protozoa, it is shapeless and moves through pseudopodia (false feet, temporary projections of the cell.) The cytoplasm of an amoeba contains the organelles and is enclosed by a cell membrane. An amoeba uses a special process called phagoctyosis(a process in which the cell extend its projections and surround the food particle, totally enclosing it, the food particle gets into a sort of 'bubble' called vacuole, which is digested there.) to get food. they reproduce through mitosis. some amoebae (plural of amoeba) causes diseases e.g Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia and Hartmannella, causes infections that can be treated if their nature is recognized in time

Answer 5

Paramecium is the name of a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa.

Answer 6

A paramecium is a slipper shape. Think of the oral groove as where one would put one's foot.

Answer 7

A tiny foot with hairy things around it called cilia and there is also a part that looks cut off

Answer 8
