How does Paramecium move?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
* Movement : A Paramecium propels itself by whiplash movements of the cilia, which are arranged in tightly spaced rows around the outside of the body.
* These tiny hairs act like many oars that push through the water. Most ciliates like the paramecium are wonderful swimmers. Their speed of motion is about four times their own length per second. Some species are so fast that you must add a thickening agent to the water to slow the organism down enough to study it.
* Paramecium and amoeba live in fresh water. Their cytoplasm contains a greater concentration of solutes than their surroundings and so they absorb water by osmosis. The excess water is collected into a contractile vacuole which swells and finally expels water through an opening in the cell membrane.
