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.
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.
50 µm
Food vacuoles combine with lysosomes.
As the food is digested, the vacuoles
follow a looping path through the cell.
Micronucleus
Macronucleus
Rhizarians –
Examples:
Forams –
Cercozoans Radiolarians -
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.
