Paramecium is a singled cell organism. It belongs in the kingdom, protista, and the phylum, ciliaphora. This is often called Lady Slipper.
There are many different species of paramecium. They are difficult to tell apart. Paramecium, like all protists, are single-celled organisms. Cells are the building blocks for all life forms. Single-celled means that a paramecium has only one cell for its entire body.Most plants and animals have more cells than you can count.The inside of a paramecium is a jelly-like fluid called protoplasm. Bits of food and other materials float around in the protoplasm.Paramecium are so tiny that you need a microscope to see them.rotists with cilia, such as Paramecium, move much faster than other protists. Like other protists, Paramecium usually attach themselves to the bottom of the pond or stream, or to a plant. Sometimes they swarm.. That means they all let go and swim around until they find a new place to attach.
