Paramecium live in water habitats, feeding on algae, bacteria and yeast. Food and water enter into the oral groove. The food travels through the mouth into the gullet, where it accumulates and creates a vacuole. Digestive enzymes break down the vacuole's contents, allowing the nutrients to pass into the cytoplasm

Answer:Paramecium is a unicellular organism. It has a definite shape and food is taken in at a specific spot called oral grove. Food is moved to the oral grove by the movement of cilia which are hair-like structure that cover the entire body surface of paramecium.
Once the food enters the cell, it is surrounded by a food vacuole. Digestive enzymes come in correct with food vacuole and carry out the process of digestion as in case of amoeba.
