Question

Slipper animalcule is
A. Paramecium
B. Trypanosoma
C. Entamoeba
D. Penicillium.

Answer 1

Hint: Slipper animalcule organism has vibrating hairs and slipper-like body structure. It is known for the many small vibrating hairs, or cilia, on the exterior of its cell. Those hairs all change their position simultaneously makes the slipper animalcule to quickly swim in a particular way.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, first, we need to know about Slipper animalcules. It is a Single-cell organism with a tiny mouth. Paramecium is called "slipper animalcules" because of their slipper-like shape. They are unicellular organisms usually less than .01 inches in length and covered with minute hair like projections called cilia. They also provide the "touch" sense that allows the paramecium to navigate its world.
Now, let us find the solution from the option.
>Slipper animalcule is a common name for the ciliated protozoan of the genus Paramecium. The term slipper is used because their shape is like a slipper and animalcule term represents the microscopic organism.
>Trypanosoma is a monophyletic unit of single celled parasitic flagellate protozoa which is a genus of kinetoplastids. Trypanosoma is a portion of the Sarcomastigophora phylum.
>Entamoeba is a genus of Amoebozoa found as internal parasites or commensals of animals.
>Penicillium, genus of blue or green mold fungi (kingdom Fungi) that exists as asexual forms (anamorphs, or deuteromycetes).

Thus, the correct option is A. Paramecium.

Note:Slipper animalcules also known as paramecium. Paramecia are one celled protists which are usually present in aquatic environments. They are commonly slipper-shaped and are enclosed with a tiny hairy feature known as cilia. A few paramecia are also simply cultivated in laboratories and function as beneficial copies of organisms.
