Solution
The correct option is C Cytostome
- Paramecium ingests food only through cytostome. Cilia in the oral groove create a current of water, that helps to reach the food up to the cytostome and from there food is ingested into the food vacuole.
- Cytoproct is the cell anus of paramecium through which waste materials are given out.
- Cytopyge is the anal orifice in certain rumen dwelling ciliates of herbivore through which waste matter is ejected.
- Cytopharynx is a tube-like opening in the lateral surface of the ciliate through which food is ingested.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
