Question

How does the shape of an amoeba differ from the shape of a paramecium?

Answer 1

Amoeba:

1. A membrane-bound nucleus, feeding vacuoles, and contractile vacuoles make up an amoeba cell.
2. Cell division in amoeba occurs by cytoplasm division.

Paramecium:

1. Paramecium is a unicellular eukaryote that dwells in freshwater and decomposing organic materials.
2. The paramecium's exterior surface is covered with cilia.
3. A paramecium cell contains a big macronucleus and a micronucleus, as well as a feeding vacuole and contractile vacuoles.
4. Paramecium reproduces asexually by binary fission under ideal conditions.

S.No.	Amoeba	Paramecium
1.	Amoeba is a single-celled protozoan that moves by pseudopodia, which are transient projections.	The single-celled freshwater invertebrate paramecium has a distinctive slipper-like form.
2	Amoeba can be found in freshwater ponds, moist soil, and parasites on other animals.	Fresh water and decaying organic materials both contain paramecium.
3	Pseudopodia are in charge of amoeboid mobility, which is a sliding or crawling-like mode of locomotion.	Paramecium moves by cilia beating.
