How is an elodea leaf cell like a paramecium cell?
Both have a cell membrane, ribosomes, and cytoplasm. Both are cells. They are both living. Both are eukaryotic.

This organelle helps the paramecium expel waste.
What is the water expelling vesicle.

What are some differences between an elodea leaf cell and a paramecium cell?
An elodea leaf cell is not an organism and a paramecium is an organism. Paramecium move quickly and elodea leaf cells do not move.
