A paramecium is a single-celled organism that primarily feeds on bacteria, algae, and small protozoa. While it is theoretically possible for a paramecium to encounter a rotifer, which is a more complex multicellular organism, it is unlikely to consume one due to size and feeding mechanisms. Paramecia use cilia to sweep food particles into their oral groove, and rotifers are generally too large and structured for them to effectively ingest. Therefore, it's improbable that a paramecium would eat a rotifer.

What would happen if you made the solute concentrationoutside the paramecium the same as that inside it?

If the solute concentration outside the paramecium matched that inside, the surrounding environment would become isotonic to the paramecium's internal environment. In this scenario, there would be no net movement of water into or out of the paramecium, preventing any osmotic stress. The paramecium would maintain its shape and volume, as the balance of osmotic pressure would stabilize its internal conditions.


What do amoeba and paramecium eat?

Amoeba feeds on small microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and other tiny protozoans by engulfing them through phagocytosis. Paramecium feeds on bacteria, algae, and other small organisms by sweeping them into its oral groove using cilia, forming a food vacuole that digests the food.
