In amoeba how are lysosomes involved in food digestion
Answers
Digestion in amoeba is intracellular taking place within the cell. The food taken in remains in a food vacuole or gastric vacuole formed by the cell membrane and small part of the cytoplasm. The vacuoles are transported deeper into the cells by cytoplasmic movements. Here they fuse with lysosomes that contain enzymes. Two enzymes amylase and proteinase have been reported. Thus, amoeba can digest sugars, cellulose and proteins. Fats, however, remain undigested.

Digestion in amoeba is intracellular taking inside the body of amoeba. Food taken in remains in the food vacuole or gastric vacuole formed by the cell membrane and small part of cytoplasm and cytoplasmic vacuoles are transported into the cell by cytoplasmic moments. Here they fused lysosome that contain enzymes.
