Diagram Of Paramecium In Biology. The area of the paramecium appears pinched inward and is called the oral groove cilia sweep food into this area. Because some species are readily cultivated and.
The undigested food is expelled out through an opening called cytopyge. Paramecium biology teaching resources by d g mackean. Paramecium also paramoecium ˌ p ær ə ˈ m iː ʃ i ə m parr ə mee sh ee əm s i ə m see əm is a genus of unicellular ciliates commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group.
For the paramecium to move backward the cilia simply beat forward on an angle.

Paramecia are widespread in freshwater brackish and marine environments and are often very abundant in stagnant basins and ponds. If the paramecium runs into a solid object the cilia change direction and beat forward causing the paramecium to go backward.
