Answer:

The main difference between amoeba and paramecium is their locomotion mechanisms; amoeba moves by forming pseudopodia; paramecium moves by beating the cilia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amoeba and paramecium are two unicellular eukaryotes. Both of them are protozoans and live in water. Both organisms asexually reproduce by binary fission.

Answer:

their locomotion mechanisms

Step-by-step explanation:

  • amoeba moves by forming pseudopodia (pseudopdia are the cytoplasm-filled parts of the cell membrane that are able to change their form in order to move)

  • paramecium moves by beating the cilia ( cilia are the small hair like things on the outside of the eukaryotic cell)
