FEEDING, WASTE REMOVAL, AND WATER BALANCE
Contractile
vacuole

Paramecium, like other freshwater
protists, constantly takes in water
by osmosis from the hypotonic
environment. Bladderlike contractile
vacuoles accumulate excess water
from radial canals and periodically
expel it through the plasma membrane.

Paramecium feeds mainly on bacteria.
Rows of cilia along a funnel-shaped oral
groove move food into the cell mouth,
where the food is engulfed into food
vacuoles by phagocytosis.
Oral groove

Thousands of cilia cover the
surface of Paramecium.
50 µm

Food vacuoles combine with lysosomes.
As the food is digested, the vacuoles
follow a looping path through the cell.

Micronucleus
Macronucleus

The undigested contents of food
vacuoles are released when the
vacuoles fuse with a specialized
region of the plasma membrane
that functions as an anal pore.

Volox, a colonial freshwater chlorophyte. The colony is a
hollow ball whose wall is composed of hundreds or
thousands of biflagellated cells (see inset LM) embedded in
a gelatinous matrix. The cells are usually connected by
strands of cytoplasm; if isolated, these cells cannot
reproduce. The large colonies seen here will eventually
release the small “daughter” colonies within them (LM).

Calperpa, an
inter-tidal
chlorophyte. The
branched filaments
lack cross-walls and
thus are
multinucleate. In
effect, the thallus is
one huge “supercell.”

Ulva, or sea lettuce. This edible seaweed has a
multicellular thallus differentiated into leaflike
blades and a rootlike holdfast that anchors the
alga against turbulent waves and tides.
