Plzz explain the paramoecium
Dear student,
Please find below the answer:
Paramecium is a unicellular organism that lives in water habitats, feeding on algae, bacteria, and yeast. It uses its cilia to sweep its food along with some water into the cell mouth. The food then enters into the gullet, which is like the stomach. Then, the food invaginates to form a food vacuole in the cytoplasm, and travels through the cell, through the back end first. As it moves along, enzymes from the cytoplasm enter the vacuole to digest the contents, digested nutrients then going into the cytoplasm, and the vacuole shrinks. When the vacuole reaches the anal pore, it ruptures, expelling its waste contents to the exterior.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
