What is the predator of the paramecium?
Didiniumis the main predator of the paramecium
How do yeast cells end up in the gullet of a paramecium?
A paramecium obtains food by using its cilia to force water down into the gullet. Particles that enter the gullet are then forced into cavities called food vacuoles. The digestive enzymes in the food vacuoles then digest the food particles
Are sea dragons prey or predator?
They are prey and predator.
What is the niche of the lion?
the niche of a lion would be predator or a carnivore,what it does is it kills to eat and it can some times decomepose dead things if its hungry
When do you say that an organism is a predator?
When an organism hunts some other organism for their food, that organism is categorized as a predator. Every carnivore is a predator.

What was eatting the jellyfish in the Cambrian period?
in the fossils it is very hard to find evidence of the prey. A big predator was a shunyan so that is most likely to be the predator.

Body of Evidence - 2002 The Hyde Park Predator was released on: USA: 9 September 2006
Sexual reproduction in paramecium?
Paramecium are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction.Description and SignificanceParamecium are members of the phylum Ciliophora. They share many common characteristics with the rest of their phylum, but are also unique. For example, their shape is quite different from that of many other Ciliophora. They are also famous for their predator-prey relationship with Didinium. Parameciumare known for their avoidance behavior. If an encounters a negative stimiulus, it is capable of rotating up to 360 degrees to find an escape route. Genome StructureMacronuclear DNA in Paramecium has a very high gene density. The macronucleus can contain up to 800 copies of each gene. Research on the genome structure of Paramecium is still largely incomplete. However, the genomes of some species are beginning to be sequenced. For example, the complete mitochondrion genome for Paramecium aurelia has been established. The complete macronuclear genome of Paramecium tetraurelia has also been sequenced.Cell Structure and MetabolismParamecium are ciliated unicellular organisms. The cilia cover the entire body. Like other ciliates, they are multinucleated. Paramecium may eject trichocyts when they detect food, in order to better capture their prey. These trichocyts are filled with protiens. Trichocysts can also be used as a method of self-defense.Paramecium are heterotrophs. Their common form of prey is bacteria. A single organism has the ability to eat 5,000 bacteria a day. They are also known to feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa. Paramecium capture their prey through phagocytosis.Paramecium are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is the most common, and this is accomplished by the organism dividing transversely. The macronucleus elongates and splits. Under ideal conditions, Paramecium can reproduce asexually two or three tiems a day. Normally, Paramecium only reproduce sexually under stressful conditions. This occurs via gamete agglutination and fusion. Two Paramecium join together and their respective micronuclei undergo meiosis. Three of the resulting nuceli disintegrate, the fourth undergoes mitosis. Daughter nuclei fuse and the cells separate. The old macronucleus disintegrates and a new one is formed. This process is usually followed by asexual reproduction.EcologyParamecium live in aquatic environments, usually in stagnant, warm water. The species Paramecium bursaria forms symbiotic relationships with green algae. The algae live in its cytoplasm. Algal photosynthesis provides a food source for Paramecium. Some species form relationships with bacteria. For example, Paramecium caudatum hosts Holospora obtusa in its macronucleus. This bacteria is specific to the macronucleus of Paramecium caudatum; they cannot grow outside of this organism. This species acquires heat-shock resistance when infected with Holospora obtusa, which contributes to ciliary motion. Paramecium are also well known as prey for Didinium.Paramecia play a role in the carbon cycle because the bacteria they eat are often found on decaying plants. Paramecium will eat the decaying plant matter in addition to the bacteria, further aiding decomposition.Paramecia can be used as model organisms in research. Currently, they are being used a great deal in genetics research. For example, recent research involves inactivating Paramecium genes for studying functional analysis by homology-dependent gene silencing. They can also be used to study membrane excitability and the duplication of basal bodies.http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Paramecium
What is a nondiscriminatory predator?
it is a predator but in a non predator... so it is really is not a predator but it is i a predator..
