Ethnography is the study of social interactions, behaviours, and perceptions that occur within groups, teams, organisations, and communities.
Then the cell divides in half, with one Paramecium above the other, like a short totem pole. Paramecium also reproduce sexually, and this is really weird. Two compatable cells join belly to belly and part of their cytoplasm fuses (kind of like a siamese twin). For sex, they do not need their big macronuclues: it is slowly destroyed.
In order to do this, two paramecium lie side by side and join at the mouth pore. This process is called conjugation and is a method of sexual reproduction in other microorganisms. Contractile vacuoles are used in animal cells to remove the excess water. The contractile vacuole is shaped like a star - color the contractile vacuole dark green. Paramecium are heterotrophs, meaning they must consume food for their energy.
