Which of the following pair of microorganism - type is correct?

I. Paramecium - Fungi

II. Penicillium - Protozoa

Neither I nor II

The correct answer is Option (3) - Neither I nor II

1. Paramecium: Paramecium is a single-celled organism belonging to the group of protozoa. It is a type of ciliate protozoa characterized by its slipper-like shape and the presence of cilia, which it uses for locomotion and feeding. Paramecium is not a fungus.
2. Penicillium: Penicillium is a genus of fungus that includes many species. It is well-known for its importance in biotechnology, particularly for the production of the antibiotic penicillin. Penicillium species are filamentous fungi and are not classified as protozoa.

Therefore, the correct pairings would be:

I. Paramecium - Protozoa

II. Penicillium - Fungi
