Question

how does ingestion take place in paramoecium​

Answer 1

The process of ingestion of food by paramecium is discussed below:

• First of all, paramecium swims to the place from where it can get food.
• The bottom of the buccal cavity has organelle called cytosome by which through which food is ingested.
• The cilia which make the outer layer covering of the paramecium make an oral groove around the food particles for ingesting them.
