Best Answer

Paramecia move cilia on their outsides rhythmically. Because of the disruption in the cell surface caused by the oral groove, paramecia swim in a spiral.

Does a paramecium use structure for movement?

The cilia that line their cells can be used in an oar like fashion to move the paramecium around in a liquid environment.

How does an paramecium move?

Cilia which surround the cell wall facilitates movement/locomotion .


Does heat affect paramecium?

Yes. Paramecium are known to increase their speed of movement and arousal levels and agitation is increased. Paramecium also will move within warmer temperatures comfortably and even more towards warmer temps.


Differentiate between amoeba Sp. and paramecium Sp.?

amoeba Sp. have long finger-like pseudopodia for movement were as paramecium Sp. have short hair-like cilia for its movement. They are both unicellular eukaryotes classified in kingdom protista.


How does the cilia cause movement in the paramecium?

they squiggle their way through water/ground etc.


Which organism moves faster amoeba or paramecium and why?

Paramecium move faster because they are covered with cilia while amoeba must change shape to move, which is called amoeboid movement.


How is the paramecium adapted for movement?

The paramecium has little, hair-like appendages on the outside of its cellular membrane that operate like paddles or oars. These are called cilia (singular) or cilii (plural).


What structures do paramecia use for circulation?

Like the Sponge and other organisms with undeveloped internal circulation mechanisms, the Paramecium relies on water movement through the paramecium's pores to serve as a method of internal circulation. The paramecium has no need for a more complex system because of its size, and relying on diffusion of nutrients through water and tidal movement is more energy effective
