Answer:

Ciliates are required for a paramecium to survive in its environment

Step-by-step explanation:

The protists that are of single-cell is known as paramecium, especially found in the aquatic animal. They are long, shaped like slipper and body covered with cilia. They belong to the organelle group of Ciliates as their body has cilia covering it. This helps in their body movement in their environment of aqua.

Paramecia sometimes move in reversed direction of the beat of cilia, that causes turning and stopping of it. The structure of cilia helps the paramecia to move backward and then forward.
