Best Answer

Some families of annelid have evolved jaws to bite, whereas others can basically vomit up (or evert) their oesophagus to grab food. Others have neither method and may use crowns of palps called cilia to filter food from the water, or just ingest sediment through unspecialised mouths.

Annelids have a mouth and anus and a digestive system to process the food they eat.

Earthworms eat dirt that contains organic material and expell it in the form of humus. Leeches suck blood.

Nutrition in amoeba is holozoic. Thus, solid food particles are ingested which are then acted upon by enzymes and digested. It is an omnivore, feeding on both plants and animals. Its diet includes bacteria, microscopic plants like the diatoms, minute algae, microscopic animals like other protozoa, nematodes and even dead organic matter.

Since it is a unicellular organism, amoeba does not have any specialised structure or organ for the process of nutrition. It takes place through the general body surface with the help of pseudopodia.

Annelid worms get their nutrients from decomposed animals found in the soil. The organics material is digested through the union of separate parts functioning as one.
