Didunim are partial to certain protozoa namely Paramecium. I know this because I just looked it up here at anwers.com. :--)

What is the scientific name of the Didinium?

I'm pretty sure it's the "shark of the pond". It's called this because it will eat any other protozoa, especially paramecium. Hope this helped!


How does a didinium?

It reproduces sexually and asexually.


What is didinium's habitat?

Didinium are commonly found in freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, and streams. They are often found in environments with abundant prey such as smaller ciliates and algae. Didinium thrive in nutrient-rich waters where they can hunt and feed on their prey efficiently.


Do didinium have cell membranes?

i do'nt know


What evidence in the data indicates that didinium could be a predator of the paramecium?

A decrease in paramecium population coinciding with an increase in didinium population would suggest predation. Observing didinium actively hunting and consuming paramecium under a microscope would also support the predator-prey relationship. Additionally, if the presence of didinium leads to a decrease in paramecium activity or alters their behavior in a defensive manner, this could indicate predation.


How big is a didinium?

for sure not bigger than Tank Johnson's dong


How do didinium obtain their food?

It traps and paralyzes its pray. The didymium then engulfs the prey using their cystostome which is expandable to allow larger pieces in.


Can you eat a paramecium?

No you can't eat a paramecium because it is a oragin Actually, you can but you'd just get sick really sick.


What eats paramecium?

Paramecia are eaten by other microorganisms such as amoebas, ciliates, and various small aquatic animals like water fleas and insect larvae. They play a crucial role in the aquatic food chain as a food source for many organisms.


How does the Diatoms reproduce?

A Didinium is a protist that feeds by ingesting bacteria (bacteriovorus) through a mouth-like opening at the anterior end of the cell. The cell has an equatorial gridle of cilia, with a second gridle surrounding the anterior end. Cilia may assist in sweeping bacteria toward opening.


Do didinium have cilia?

Chepurnov VA, Mann DG, Sabbe K, Vyverman W (2004) Experimental studies on sexual reproduction in diatoms. Int Rev Cytol 237: 91--154. FIND THIS ARTICLE ONLINEIf you google "diatom sexual reproduction" you will find several articles that describe the process. It evidently differs between pennate and cyclic diatoms. The cyclic ones transform themselves into ova and spermatozoa, and of course the spermatozoa have flagella, which are overgrown cilia. So the answer appears to be yes, at least they can have cilia/flagella, at least some of the time. And, therefore they have the genetic ability to construct the machinery (microtubules and dynein and I suppose more).The above article I found cited elsewhere, but I didn't download it because it wasn't free.


Which protists use cilia for locomotion?

Some examples of protists that use cilia for locomotion include Paramecium and Didinium. Cilia are hair-like structures that help these protists move by beating in a coordinated manner, allowing them to glide through their aquatic environments.
