Food and Eating
Here is the step by step process of a paramecium eating.
1. First food enters the oral groove.
2. Next the cell mouth opens and lets the food into the gullet, then the gullet expands, breaks off, and becomes a vacuole.
3. Then the vacuole circulates through cytoplasm, which digests the food.
4. Finally the waste is taken to the anal pore where it is deposited.
Paramecium eat things such as algae, bacteria, and yeast.
