Answer 2

Here's a video where you can see the cilia in action, performing that other function: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh_yjLppNAg&feature=relmfu You won't be able to see individual cilia, just a kind of flickering over the surface.

You can see the Paramecium's "mouth" roughly in the middle. At its bottom, you'll see a food vacuole full of bacteria be pinched off and transported further into the cell.

(It's a short video, don't worry. Less than a minute.)
