Question

difference between the nutrition of amoeba and Paramecium

Answer 1

Differences of amoeba and paramecium regarding nutrition are :

Amoeba

1. In amoeba, there is no any special organisation through which they can capture their prey or food. This means that amoeba can capture food from any region or any side or part of their body.

2. In them, there are appendeges which have structures like fingers called pseudopodia by which they catch the food substances.

Paramecium

1. They have specific region by which they can capture their prey, that is, through oral groove.

2. Cilia helps them in catching the food substances.

Answer 2

Answer:

Digestion:

• In Amoeba food is digested in the food vacuole by digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down the food in to small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. In case of Paramecium, hair like structures called cilia helps to sweep the food particles from water and put them in to mouth.Jun
