Solution

Sun is the ultimate source if energy.

In Paramecium, food is ingested through a definite cell mouth. The cilia present all over the body move continuously to push the food particles along the water current. The food entering inside collects to form a food vacuole. Digestion of food occurs inside this food vacuole. The undigested food is removed through a definite anal spot.
