An heterotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food. To get food a paramecia acually sticks out its false foot to fell around and when it feels something it wraps itself around it and if it isn't food it basically just spits it out.
Paramecia are heterotrophs because they obtain their nutrition by ingesting organic matter or other organisms. They do not have the ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophs. Instead, they rely on consuming other organisms for energy and nutrients to survive.
Paramecia belong to the classification of protists known as ciliates. Ciliates are characterized by the presence of hair-like structures called cilia, which they use for movement and feeding.
Yes, paramecia have a nucleus.
Animal-like protists are called protozoa. Protozoaare single-celled eukaryotes that share some traits with animals. Like animals, they can move, and they are heterotrophs.
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.

Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
Part heterotrophs? I don't know what you mean by "part."
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.
Paramecia feed on bacteria and algae.
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.
Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food, if that is what you mean by energy. For example, humans are heterotrophs. Autotrophs, however, can produce their own food (like plants, algae, etc). Both heterotrophs and autotrophs need energy to survive, they just use it in different ways.
the paramecia gets rid of waste by a process called exocytsis
