Solution

Paramecium is a single-celled protozoan.

It obtains its food in the following manner:

  1. The hair-like structures called cilia present on the paramecium help in collecting the food and movement.
  2. They sweep the food inside the paramecium through the oral groove.
  3. Waste is eliminated from the paramecium through the anal pore.
