Paramecium and Chlorella life functions
Paramecium

Chlorella

Nutrition

Paramecium ingests microorganisms
such as bacteria, algae, and yeast, it is
able to gather the food by using its cilia
...
After,
enzymes go inside the vacuole to digest
the food
...

It photosynthesises in fresh water,
and it can't survive without solar
energy
...


Chlorella takes uses CO2, H2O and
solar energy to create nutrients and
energy for the cell
...


Excretion

The cell excretes waste products from
metabolic processes (vacuole and CO2),
by diffusing them out through the
membrane (anal pore)
...
It is
diffused out of the cell
...

For asexual reproduction, first the
macronucleus splits by amitosis, then the
micronucleus splits through mitosis and
the cell divides, generating two daughter
cells each containing the macronucleus
and micronucleus
...

It reproduces through its non motile
reproductive cells and uses
photosynthesis for its energy
...


create a macronucleus for the cell
...


Homeostasis

Vacuoles in the cell fill up with water and
expel it through the plasma membrane to
keep the water levels in the cell constant
...


Response

Paramecium responds to external stimuli
by moving around with its cilia, it uses
most of its energy for movement so it
responds to environmental changes
...


Growth

The nutrients acquired through digestion
are used for energy and growth
processes
...
