How to draw Paramecium

Paramecium is a unicellular organism which lives in fresh water habitats such as lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and puddles.These tiny microscopic creatures has transparent body wall called Pellicle covered with several tiny hair like structures called Cilia. Several cilia produce lashing movements and enable paramecium to move in water. It feeds on bacteria, algae and other protists. It has a opening for feeding called Cytostome or oral groove, through which it takes its food by ciliary movements. The flower like stuff which you see in the top and bottom are Contractile vacuoles, they excrete excess salts to out side. It reproduces asexually  by Binary fission where the Paramecium literally splits its body vertically into two daughter paramecia. It is also known as Slipper animalcule because of its typical slipper shape.



Draw a slipper shape as shown.
Draw two contractile vacuoles, one at the top and another at the bottom.
Draw several tiny Cilia all over the Paramecium.
Now draw One big Macronucleus and and small Micro nucleus fallowed by Cytopharynx a funnel like continuation of oral groove.
Put several neat dots to represent Cytoplasm the jelly like substance and mark some food vacuoles in it.
Now label the diagram as shown.
