Activity 8.1 Class 8 Science

The teacher may show a permanent slide of amoeba and paramecium under a microscope. Alternatively, the teacher can collect pond water ad shoe these organisms by preparing the slides.

The microscopic structure of Paramecium and Amoeba

Observation and explanation 

Under the microscope, we can see the structure of amoeba and paramecium. Both are unicellular organisms.

 

Amoeba has an irregular (indefinite)shape and we can see some finger-like projections called pseudopodia (false foot). The structure of amoeba has main three parts – the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and nucleus. it also has other cell organelles like contractile vacuole, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and fat globules.

Paramecium has an ovoid, slipper, or cigar-shaped organism. It has a definite shape. The structure of paramecium consists mainly of cytoplasm, plasma membrane, nucleus, and other cell organelles. it has two nuclei.

It has hair-like projections all over the outer surface which are called cilia.

Conclusion 

This activity shows the structures of unicellular organisms amoeba and paramecium.
