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 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 ...
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.

Schematic drawing of bacterial conjugation. Conjugation diagram. Donor cell produces pilus. Pilus attaches to recipient cell and brings the two cells together. The mobile plasmid is nicked and a single strand of DNA is then transferred to the recipient cell.

The qualitative approach of MO analysis uses a molecular orbital diagram to visualize bonding interactions in a molecule. In this type of diagram, the molecular orbitals are represented by horizontal lines; the higher a line the higher the energy of the orbital, and degenerate orbitals are placed on the same level with a space between them.
