The plasmodium refers to a digenetic parasite exhibiting two hosts, the primary host is female Anopheles mosquito in which it reproduces sexually, and a secondary host is a man, here it reproduces asexually. It belongs to sporozoans, as it exhibits sporotic stage in their life cycle. It is uninucleate and is devoid of cilia.
Paramecium comes under ciliates category of protozoans and is free living. It exhibits two nuclei, one of which is macronucleus, and the other is micronucleus. The micronucleus assists in reproduction, while the macronucleus helps in somatic development. It does not produce any sporotic stage in the life cycle and is generally heterotrophic.
