Cell organelles Structures inside the cell are referred to as cell organelles. These fulfill a wide rande of different functions. (c) Oliver Kim
Ruptured cell The cell membrane of this Paramecium has torn open. This probably happened during preparation of the slide. A ruptured cell means the certain death of the organisms. (c) Oliver Kim
Macronucleus The macronucleus (somatic nucleus) of Paramecium is responsible for controlling the events the cell by controlling the production of proteins. (c) Oliver Kim
Cilia The paramecia are covered with coutless little hair, the cilia. These hair beat in a wave-like manner and move the paramecium forward. (c) Oliver Kim

Paramecia are single-celled water organisms. They are covered with countless cilia, which are responsible for movement and feeding. Paramecia feed on bacteria and debris and can be found in oxygen-rich and clean pond water. The cells on this slide have been stained to make the cilia and cell organelles more visible. In nature, Paramecia take on the color of the food that they eat. Paramecia that have eaten green algae will thus appear green.
