Answer:

The correct answer is B) using cilia

Explanation:

Paramecium is unicellular ciliate varying in size range between 50 to 300 micrometers. They are found in both fresh and marine water and have lots of cilia for their locomotion in their environment.

Paramecium uses these cilia to gather their food. Paramecium feed on small microscopic organisms like bacteria, algae, and yeast. They capture their food by moving their cilia to move their prey toward their mouth or oral groove.

Then the food is transferred into the cell through cilia present in the oral groove. In the cell, the food is captured by food vacuole which digests the food and releases the waste outside.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: Option B) Lipids generally don't dissolve in water.

Explanation:

All lipids are small biomolecules that are insoluble in water but dissolve readily in nonpolar organic solvents, and contain fatty acids, sterols. So, not all lipids are made of fatty acids and glycerol, and the chemical properties of each lipids depends on their composition.

Thus, all lipids share the characteristics of not dissolving in water.
