Answer:

In Amoeba food is digested in the food vacuole by digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down the food in to small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. In case of Paramecium, hair like structures called cilia helps to sweep the food particles from water and put them in to mouth.

Amoeba and paramecium are two unicellular eukaryotes. Both of them are protozoans and live in water. ... The main difference between amoeba and paramecium is their locomotion mechanisms; amoeba moves by forming pseudopodia; paramecium moves by beating the cilia.

Answer:

Amoeba and paramecia are both heterotrophs, which means that they obtain the organic compounds necessary to sustain their metabolism from other organisms.

However, amoeba are generally considered to be more “predatory” in nature. This has to do mostly with how the physiology of an amoeba is different from the physiology of a paramecium.

Paramecia obtain their prey via cilia - their means of locomotion. The typical paramecium, such as Paramecium caudatum, has an easily visible “oral groove,” with cilia sweeping the food down the oral groove and into a forming food vacuole; this system can be described as funneling food down into a sort of “mouth.”

Amoeba are different. They use pseudopodia to surround and phagocytize their prey.
