A specific spot in paramoecium, where the food gets ingested is called a food vacuole.
Food vacuole:
- A membrane-enclosed bag called a food vacuole serves as a digestive organ.
- It can be found in unicellular protozoans like plasmodium and amoeba.
- They function as an intracellular stomach, breaking down the food that is consumed.
- Food vacuoles are single-layered membrane structures that are present in the cytoplasm of protists, animals, and plants.
- Phagocytosis, also referred to as cell-eating, is the process by which the food vacuole will take in particles or substances.
- They are endowed with the enzymes necessary for breaking down nutrition.
- Through the process of phagocytosis, they suck up the food material, and this vacuole then breaks down the food that has been consumed.
