Question

Do paramecia also have mitochondria, lysosomes, centrioles, etc?Please give me a thorough list with your source/s. Also, in their asexual reproduction, do they do it just like animal cells? Please state the differences.

Answer 1

Yes, since Protozoa like amoeba, Paramecium are unicellular animals, they have same cellular organelles as that of other animal cells. Further, they have contractile vacuoles and specific locomotory organelles like cilia, flagella, psuedopodia etc.
