Differential interference contrast (DIC) light micrograph of scavenging Paramecium sp. ciliate protozoa. Paramecium are heterotrophs, which means they obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter. They are single-celled organisms found in freshwater and marine environments, as well as in soil and other moist habitats. Paramecia are characterised by their distinctive shape, which is elongated and flattened, with a tapered posterior end and a more rounded anterior end. They also possess cilia, which are hair-like structures used for movement and feeding. | |
