094 BEHAVIOUR OF PARAMOECIUM
To study the behaviour of Paramoecium to
different solutions
MATERIAL REQUIRED
Paramoecium culture. Clean slides. Dilute sugar,
salt solution, dilute vinegar. Droppers
Paramoecium culture
2
Place a large drop of Paramoecium culture medium
on clean slide. Observe the drop for the random
movement of Paramoecium using magnifying glass
(hand lens)
3
Place a drop of dilute sugar solution next to
culture. Connect them through a small bridge
using a small stick. Wait for a minute or two and
observe for the movement. If they move towards
sugar solution note down the reaction with a
mark.
Using salt and vinegar solutions repeat the
experiment and record your observations
