Exploring the Microscopic World: Paramecium Biology and Behavior

Paramecium is a single-celled microorganism found in freshwater habitats. Despite its small size, Paramecium displays complex behavior that is fascinating to observe. . When it comes to eating, Paramecium uses a specialized structure called the oral groove. This structure is lined with tiny hair-like cilia, which are used to create a current of water that brings small particles of food towards Paramecium. Once the food particles are attracted to the oral groove, they are pushed to the gullet, a
