Ameoba;
amoeba eats bacteria, algae, plant cells, and other microscopic organisms. The process of feeding is referred to as phagocytosis in which pseudopodia is formed to engulf the food particle. The engulfed food is digested inside a vacuole in the body and wastes are eliminated by exocytosis. Amoeba is a heterotroph which use phagocytosis to engulf food particles.
paramesium;
Paramecium engulfs food by the use of cilia. Cilia is a hair like structure present on surface on body of paramecium. Food is ingested by cilia through oral groove into gullet. The food is ingested with a little surrounding water to form a food vacuole. Digestion in Paramecium is termed as “intracellular digestion”.
