Peranema Patterson and Larsen, 1991
Paranema is a colorless phagotrophic euglenid, which does not readily swim, but glides along the grounds. It appears to have only a single, very broad emergent flagellum. (1) Paranema (also called Pseudoparanema) is a phagotroph and can manipulate other protists and detritus into the cell by means of two ingestion rods(3) The phase contrast photograph is supported with sketching to show more details in the cell ans will be provided on demand to dsdabhade@rediffmail.com.
The locomotion in this organism is gliding as it is in Amoeba proteous on the contrary it bears flagella which is also used during glinding movements. There are various stages of contraction and extension of the body.
1.During normal locomotion, the basal part remains fairly stiff, with only the anterior portion showing much activity. the flagella is thrown in the direction where the in which the animal has to move.
2. the vacuoles inside the protoplasm follow the way in which the flagella is thrown.
3. thus, the cell shows movements of the vacuoles as the bowl passes in the alimentary canal through peristalsis. You can imagine?
4. the complete cell body then is withdrawn and pulled towards the flagella.
The distance covered through this single movement is equals to the total length of the Paranema when extended.

Describe Locomotion in protozoa with reference to ciliary and flagellar locomotion and mechanism thereof?
Protozoa use cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated fashion to move the protozoa. Flagella are longer and move in a whip-like motion to propel the organism. Both ciliary and flagellar locomotion involve the movement of microtubules within the structures, generating force and direction for the organism to move.
Is nucleolus an organelle of locomotion?
No, flagella and cilia are organelles of locomotion.
How are protozoans differentiated by means of their locomotory organelles?
The pseudopodia enable amoeboid locomotion, the cilia allow for ciliary locomotion. The flagella allow for flagellar locomotion and the myonemes allow for metabolic contractile locomotion.
What is the difference between locomotion and non locomotion movement?
Locomotion refers to movement that involves changing one's location, such as walking or running. Non-locomotion movement refers to actions that do not involve changing one's location, like nodding one's head or waving a hand.
The type of locomotion in which animals touch the ground by their sole is?
Plantigrade locomotion.
How do paranema move?
Paranema are flagellated protists that move by beating their flagella in a coordinated fashion. The flagella allow them to propel themselves through water in a smooth and efficient manner. This type of movement is known as flagellar motility.

Describe three inventions that changed the way people traveled?
The sedan chair, steam locomotion and aviation.
What is the figurative language in locomotion?
There are several sentences that the word locomotion can be used in. One sentence is; The steam locomotion was late to the depot.
What is a alligators locomotion?
Chinese alligator locomotion
What is the locomotion platypus?
There is no such thing as a locomotion platypus.
Which is locomotion of whitetail deer?
which is locomotion for whitetail deer?
What is an amoebas locomotion?
Trevor does the locomotion to support the homeostasis
Who recorded the locomotion?
Little Eva recorded the Locomotion.
Does stinging cells have locomotion?
They have very limited locomotion.
What is a panda's locomotion?
the locomotion of a panda is its legs. locomotion means movement of an organism so pandas move with their legs
What is manner of locomotion?
Manner of Locomotion is basically a way to describe the Movement of something or more to the point HOW it moves. Examples would be things like defining in detail the "Gait" of a horse or the bi-pedal and for limbed movement used by primates or perhaps the muscle constrictions used by a snake.
