What is paramecium?
A single-celled microscopic organism is called Paramecium.
Characteristics Of Paramecium:-
- Habitat: It can be found in stagnant or slow-moving fresh water that contains decomposing organic waste, such as muddy ponds.
- Locomotion: The cilia that are found on the body's surface are used by paramecium to move. The organism travels forward while rotating on its axis, with the blunt end leading, as a result of the cilia beating obliquely rearward.
- Feeding: It consumes tiny creatures like bacteria, protozoa, and algae. Food fragments are moved in the direction of the gullet as the cilia in the oral groove beat.
The food particles are transported to the bottom of the gullet by the movement of cilia in the gullet. Food particles occasionally enter the endoplasm there at the mouth pore to create food vacuoles. The endoplasm secretes digesting enzymes into the moving food vacuoles. The meal is absorbed and digested.
