How do the shape and body consistency differ between amoeba and paramecium?

Amoebas have an irregular, constantly changing shape due to their flexible cell membrane and the presence of pseudopodia, which they use for movement and feeding. In contrast, Paramecia have a more rigid, elongated, and slipper-like shape, with a defined structure maintained by a pellicle that supports their body. Additionally, Paramecia are covered in cilia, which they use for locomotion and feeding, while amoebas rely on their pseudopodia for similar functions. This difference in shape and body consistency reflects their distinct modes of movement and feeding strategies.
