Paramecia feed on microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and yeasts. To gather food, the Paramecium uses its cilia to sweep prey organisms, along with some water, through the oral groove, and into the mouth opening.
A paramecium stores its food in small vacuoles within its cytoplasm. These vacuoles form when the paramecium engulfs food particles through a process called phagocytosis. Once inside the vacuoles, enzymes help digest the food for energy.
The protist that has an oral groove is Paramecium. The oral groove is a structure found in Paramecium used for feeding and taking in food particles. This ciliated protist sweeps food particles into the oral groove, where they are engulfed and digested.
A paramecium will typically swim away or around the cotton fiber using its cilia to sense and navigate its surroundings. It may also secrete enzymes to try and break down the fiber if it perceives it as a potential food source.
A paramecium uses phagocytosis to form a food vacuole. In this process, the paramecium surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane, forming a vacuole containing the food. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.

Paramecium does not make its own food, it is a consumer.

Yes and no. Paramecium are good because they are the basis of a lot of food webs and they let other organisms feed off of them. They are also bad because they cause a lot of diseases like African Sleeping Sickness (African Trypanisoma).
