Paramecium is a genus.
A phylum is a very large grouping, and in some cases different classifications use different names. Paramecium is sometimes placed in the phylum Ciliophora in the kingdom Protista.
No. The cilia of a paramecium sweep food particles through its oral groove into its gullet.
Paramecium cannot make their own food. Instead, it takes nutrition from other sources.
no
yes
Autotrophs are producers, organisms able to make their own food such as plants or microorganisms which contain chlorophyll, for example. Paramecia are predators, not able to manufacture their own food, but consume other microorganisms. So, no, paramecia are not autotrophs.
They use their food vacuole to produce their food.
Paramecium are consumers because it uses it's cilia to sweep it's food into where it digests food.
In the vacuole the Paramecium stores its food:) youre welcome
Food Vacuole
Paramecium does not make its own food, it is a consumer.
no
realy figure it out on ur own

Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
They use their food vacuole to produce their food.

Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.
Food Vacuole
according to my research zoochlorella is an green algae.
to digest the food.
