Different between egestion and inengestion
Answers
Main Difference-Ingestion vs Egestion Ingestion and egestion are two events that occur during the feeding of animals and protozoa. The main difference between ingestion and egestion is that ingestion is the intake of food into the body whereas egestion is the elimination of wastes out of the body. Ingestion occurs through the mouth in animals. In protozoa, ingestion occurs by endocytosis. After taking food into the digestive system of animals, mechanical digestion and chemical digestion occurs to break down food into smaller constituents that can be absorbed by the body. Protozoa take food into a vesicle and digest it inside the vesicle by digestive enzymes. The elimination of wastes of the digestion occurs through the anus in animals. In protozoa, the egestion occurs by exocytosis.
