Paramaecium is a ciliated protozoan which is used for following studies: 1) Process of cyclosis or transport of materials within the cell. 2) Process of conjugation which is a rejuvenating process of sexual reproduction. This helps to concentrate the diluted genetic material through repeated binary fission and fromation of new combination organisms. 3) Process of taxis or movement of cells in response to stimuli like light, heat, gravity etc. 4) Role of shape in functioning of the cell 5) Role as a bioindicator of pollution or presence of hazardous chemicals
