- Paramecia are covered by a protective pellicle that functions like skin and use cilia to move and obtain food.
- They have an oral groove that functions like a mouth.
- Paramecia are heterotrophs, which means they eat other organisms to obtain energy.
- Paramecia are found in warm, stagnant water.
- Symbiosis refers to the mutual relationship between two organisms to benefit from each other. Some species of paramecium including P. bursaria and P. chlorelligerum form a symbiotic relationship with green algae from which they not only take food and nutrients when needed but also some protection from certain predators like Didinium nasutum.
- Paramecium reproduces asexually through binary fusion. The micronuclei during reproduction undergo mitosis while the macronuclei divide through amitosis. Each new cell, in the end, contains a copy of macronuclei and micronuclei after the cell undergoes a transverse division. Reproduction through binary fission may occur spontaneously.
