Question

“Paramoecium being unicellular and have fixed body design having

different way of obtain their nutrition as comparison to Amoeba.” Explain.

(b) Do you think all three events of photosynthesis in case of desert plants

occur immediately one after another? Justify​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1. Amoeba and paramecium both are heterotrophs.

2. Amoeba moves by using pseudopodia while the locomotion of paramecium is performed using cilia.

3. Amoeba can change its body shape, whereas paramecium does have a definite shape like the sole of a shoe.

4. Amoeba feeds through phagocytosis, while paramecium feeds itself through predation.

(b) No, it is not necessary that all three events of photosynthesis in case of desert plants occur immediately.

For example, desert plants take up carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate compound. This intermediate compound is acted upon by the energy absorbed during the day by the chlorophyll.
