Does paramecium have chloroplasts?
No chloroplasts.

Paramecium is a unicellular organism, belonging to heterotrophs. It gets energy by ingesting organic matter. Chloroplast is an organelle in plant cells and some protozoan cells, which is used for photosynthesis and the synthesis of organic substances. Because paramecium does not carry out photosynthesis, there is no chloroplast. The life activities of paramecium are completed in one cell, relying on various organelles in cytoplasm to complete various functions. Paramecium has no chloroplasts.
