Answer 1

Structure of a paramecium: large ciliate protozoan that lives in stagnant freshwater.

Cilia: minuscule cilia that envelop the paramecium and are used for locomotion.

Contractile vacuole: cavity of the paramecium that is able to contract.

Food vacuole: cavity of the paramecium responsible for digestion.

Micronucleus: one of the less important central organelles of a paramecium.

Oral groove: canal of the paramecium used to ingest nutrients.

Gullet: cavity of the pharynx.

Ectoplasm: vitreous superficial layer of a paramecium.

Endoplasm: central part of a paramecium.

Large nucleus: the most important central organelle of a paramecium.

Canals of contractive vacuole: division of the contractile cavity of a paramecium.

Trochocyst: root of a vibrative cilium of a paramecium
