How do paramecium feed?

0

Bacteria, algae, and yeasts are things that paramecium feed on. To gather its food, the paramecium put its cilia to work. Its cilia sweeps the food along with water into the cell mouth after it drops into the oral groove. The food goes within the cell mouth into the gullet, or the stomach. When the gullet has reached a definate size it breaks away and forms a food vacuole.
