Question

please explain more about this paramecium .plzzz.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Paramecium (also Paramoecium, /ˌpærəˈmiːʃ(i)əm/, PARR-ə-MEE-sh(ee-)əm, /-siəm/, -⁠see-əm)[1] is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia are widespread in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments and are often very abundant in stagnant basins and ponds. Because some species are readily cultivated and easily induced to conjugate and divide, it has been widely used in classrooms and laboratories to study biological processes. Its usefulness as a model organism has caused one ciliate researcher to characterize it as the "white rat" of the phylum Ciliophora.[2]

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Paramecium is a unicellular organism with a shape resembling the sole of a shoe. It ranges from 50 to 300um in size which varies from species to species. It is mostly found in a freshwater environment. It is a single-celled eukaryote belonging to kingdom Protista and is a well-known genus of ciliate protozoa.Structure and Function

1.     Shape and Size

P. cadatum is a microscopic, unicellular protozoan. Its size ranges from 170 to 290um or up to 300 to 350um. Surprisingly, paramecium is visible to the naked eye and has an elongated slipper like shape, that’s the reason it’s also referred to as a slipper animalcule.

The posterior end of the body is pointed, thick and cone-like while the anterior part is broad and blunt. The widest part of the body is below the middle. The body of a paramecium is asymmetrical. It has a well-defined ventral or oral surface and has a convex aboral or dorsal body surface.  

2.     Pellicle

Its whole body is covered with a flexible, thin and firm membrane called pellicles. These pellicles are elastic in nature which supports the cell membrane. It's made up of a gelatinous substance.
