Question

Which type of digestion occurs in amoeba and paramecium

Answer 1

The mode of nutrition and digestion in Amoeba and Paramecium is Holozoic.

$\green{Digestion\: in\: Amoeba :}$

• Amoeba is unicellular, omnivore organism.

• The nutrition in Amoeba is Holozoic.

• It takes place with the help of pseudopodia ( finger like extensions ).

• It engulfs the food when it comes in contact with its cell surface by ingestion.

• Pseudopodia fuses over the food particle to form a food vacuole.

• Inside the food vacuole, complex food breaks into small soluble molecules and gets readily absorbed by the cytoplasm, ie. Absorption.

• The undigested food material is removed by the cell membrane, which ruptures suddenly at any place and eliminates out the undigested food, ie. egestion.

Answer 2

Answer:

holozoic mode of nutrition
