EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A paramecium can move faster than an amoeba because of the methods of their locomotion. A paramecium is covered in short, hair-like structures called cilia. By moving these structures rapidly, a paramecium can swim through a fluid environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -In fact, the paramecium belongs to a whole group of protists that move using cilia, the Phylum Ciliophora. Compared to the amoeba, the paramecium is fast swimmer. It is so fast that when looking for it under the microscope it may zoom right over your viewing field before you have a chance to really even see it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amoeba move by extension of the pseudopodium, attachment of the pseudopodial membrane to the substratum, and detachment of the membrane from the substratum at the posterior uroid, thus allowing the cell to translocate itself to an anteriorad location.
