Paramecium is a unicellular protist that belongs to the kingdom Protista. It is characterized by its slipper-like shape that is flattened at the anterior end and pointed at the posterior end. It ranges from 50-350 µm in length and is covered by cilia that are used for movement and feeding. Paramecium feeds on bacteria, algae, and other protists through oral grooves located at the anterior end. The food vacuoles are formed and then transported to the posterior end where undigested material is expelled. Paramecium reproduces asexually by binary fission, and can also reproduce sexually by conjugation, which involves the exchange of genetic material. It is commonly found in freshwater ponds, streams, and lakes, and plays an important role in aquatic food chains.
