How does the nutrition in Paramecium …

Paramoecium takes in food at a specific point (through oral groove to mouth to gullet). Food such as bacteria or very small organisms are move to the specific spot (ingestion point) by the movement of cilia which are present on all over the single-celled body.
From the gullet a food vacuole is formed which start circulating in the endoplasm. During circulation food is digested by enzymes. The digested food diffuses into the cytoplasm and undigested food is thrown out through **** pore.

1. Paramoecium is a unicellular aquatic organism.
2. The paramoecium has thin, hair like cilia all over its body.
3. The cilia move back and forth rapidly in water.
4. When the cilia is present around, the mouth region of paramoecium move, back and forth. They sweep the food particles present in water into the mouth of paramoecium.
5. This is the first step in the nutrition of paramoecium which is called ingestion and is followed by digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.
