Added a label for the buccal overture, a structure frequently mislabeled as the cytostome on diagrams of Paramecium. For an accurate representation of these structures, see: Ralph Wichterman, The Biology of Paramecium, 2nd Edition, 1986 (fig. 1.3A, on... 19:47, 5 June 2017: 1,142 × 1,007 (149 KB) Deuterostome: Lengthened buccal cavity, for ...
Paramecium are adaptive to many environments due to the diastole and systole movements of the contractile vacuole, which either let in or expel water from the cytoplasm depending on the environment. The micronucleus and macronucleus together contain all of the genetic information for the organism.
Paramecium feed on microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and yeasts. To gather food, the Paramecium makes movements with cilia to sweep prey organisms, along with some water, through the oral groove (vestibulum, or vestibule), and into the cell. The food passes from the cilia-lined oral groove into a narrower structure known as the buccal ...

Drawing by Alfred Kahl "Slipper animalcule", illustrated by Louis Joblot, 1718. Paramecium caudatum is 170–330 micrometres long (usually 200–300 micrometres). [6] The cell body is spindle-shaped, rounded at the front, tapering at the posterior to a blunt point. Early microscopists likened its shape to that of a slipper, and commonly ...
Original - This is a schematic view of an typical animal cell. An animal cell is a form of eukaryotic cell that makes up many tissues in animals. Reason well labeled, encyclopedic, high quality SVG. i am renominating it sepratly because last time it was one of the concern.
