Animals are heterotrophic by ingestion. Fungi are heterotrophic by absorption.
Like all animals they are heterotrophic.
Paramecium is a unicellular organism belonging to the kingdom Protista. So it is not classified as vertebrates or invertebrates as it is not an animal.
The subgroups of monera are heterotrophic and autotrophic. Heterotrophic are basically the types of bacteria, meanwhile autotrophic is a type of blue-green algae.
Yes, fish are heterotrophic organisms because they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis. They rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive.
heterotroph
Amoeba and Paramecium are examples of heterotrophic protists that are capable of movement. Amoebas move by extending their pseudopods, while Paramecium move using cilia.
A paramecium is a heterotroph because it does not perform photosynthesis to make it's own sugar using energy from the sun.
No, paramecium is not autotrophic. It is a type of protozoa that feeds on bacteria, algae, and other small organisms by consuming them as food.
Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.
Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
Protista, with its peculiar nature, has varieties of ways to gain nutrition. Some like algae and planktons are autotrophic, while animal-like protists such as paramecium and stentor are heterotrophic. Still others are classified as being mixotrophic, which means that they are both capable of obtaining food from others and from inorganic sources.

Simply because it eats other organisms using a simple digestive system. And also Animal-like protist's move by cilia, Flagelum. All Protozoa including Paramecium are included in Animal like Protista , because 1 they ingest food and then digest it , 2 they show locomotion , , 3 they are heterotrophic .
The scientific name for paramecium is Paramecium spp.
Heterotrophic.
The scientific name for Paramecium pentaurelia is Paramecium caudatum.
