FEEDING, WASTE REMOVAL, AND WATER BALANCE
Paramecium, like other freshwater
protists, constantly takes in water
by osmosis from the hypotonic
environment. Bladderlike
contractile vacuoles accumulate
excess water from radial canals
and periodically expel it through
the plasma membrane.
Ciliates –
Contractile
vacuole
Paramecium feeds mainly on bacteria.
Rows of cilia along a funnel-shaped oral
groove move food into the cell mouth,
where the food is engulfed into food
vacuoles by phagocytosis.
Oral groove
Cell mouth
Thousands of cilia cover the
surface of Paramecium.
Food vacuoles combine with lysosomes.
As the food is digested, the vacuoles
follow a looping path through the cell.
50 µm
Micronucleus
The undigested contents of food
vacuoles are released when the
vacuoles fuse with a specialized
region of the plasma membrane
that functions as an anal pore.
Macronucleus
CONJUGATION AND REPRODUCTION
Meiosis of micronuclei
produces four haploid
micronuclei in each cell.
Two cells of compatible
mating strains align side by
side and partially fuse.
Compatible
mates
Three micronuclei in each cell
disintegrate. The remaining micronucleus in each cell divides by mitosis.
Macronucleus
The cells swap
one micronucleus.

Three micronuclei in each cell
Two rounds of

disintegrates. Four
micronuclei become
macronuclei, while

Plasmodial Slime Molds
At one point in the life cycle, plasmodial slime molds form a mass called a plasmodium -- the
plasmodium is undivided by membranes and contains many diploid nuclei -- it extends
pseudopodia through decomposing material, engulfing food by phagocytosis
