Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cilia are minute hair-like projections on the outer surface of a eukaryotic cell that act as locomotory organs. Ciliate is a group of protozoans that can move with the help of cilia only. Paramecium is the key member of this group which shows isochronous or metachronous rhythms of locomotion.
Detailed explanation-2: -(a) Paramecium waves hair-like appendages called cilia to propel itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -A typical example of a ciliated microorganism is the Paramecium, a one-celled, ciliated protozoan covered by thousands of cilia. The cilia beating together allow the Paramecium to propel through the water at speeds of 500 micrometers per second.
