Does Paramecium Have Cell Wall?

Explanation: Paramecium do have a cell membrane , and also their body is covered by protective pellicle. The video below shows several paramecium feeding. They are using their cilia, which are found all along the outside of the cell membrane, for movement.

What is the cell membrane in Paramecium?

The body of the paramecium cell is enclosed by a stiff but elastic membrane, called pellicle. Pellicle is made up of a thin, gelatinous substance produced by the cell. The layer of the pellicle gives the paramecium a definite shape and good protection of its cell content.

What organelles do Paramecium have?

The model covers all the main parts of these cells: cilia, oral groove, contractile vacuole, cell membrane (pellicle), meganucleus, micronucleus, mitochondria, rough ER and Golgi. Students make their Paramecium model using the colourful parts working alone or in small groups.
