Science Microbes!

Almost surely paramecium. Paramecium live in both fresh and, well, not-so-fresh water. A paramecium can range from a mere 50 micrometers to a full 330. Paramecium use cilia, tiny hairs, that act like oars, to move around. Did you know there is a groove running from paramecia's bottom to its centre lined with cilia that work to bring food to the parameciums mouth instead of  helping it move?
