What is a food vacuole?
A membrane-bound vacuole (as in an ameba) where ingested food is digested.
When an ameba engulfs a particle of food what is formed?
food vacuole
What types of molecules would most likely be found in high amounts within the food vacuole of an ameba?
The food vacuole of an ameba would most likely contain a high concentration of organic molecules, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. These molecules come from the engulfed food particles, such as bacteria and other microorganisms, which the ameba digests. Additionally, enzymes involved in digestion may also be present within the vacuole to break down these complex molecules into simpler forms for absorption.
What is it called when a single cell ameba surrounds a particle of food?
This process is called phagocytosis. The ameba engulfs the food particle by extending its cell membrane around it, forming a food vacuole which contains the particle for digestion.
What type of molecules would most likely be found in high amounts within the food vacuole of an ameba?
Food vacuoles in an ameba typically contain a variety of organic molecules, primarily proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, derived from the engulfed food particles. These molecules are broken down during digestion to provide energy and nutrients for the ameba. Additionally, waste products from the digestion process may also accumulate in the vacuole.
How does an ameba get food?
They move around using a foot-like projections called pseudopods. Amoebas also use these pseudopods to capture food.Then creates a food vacuole around the food particle.
What process does a paramecium use to make a food vacuole?
A paramecium uses phagocytosis to form a food vacuole. In this process, the paramecium surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane, forming a vacuole containing the food. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.
What stores food and waste in a cell?
Well the answer to your question is (Plasma).
How does an amoebae take in food?
its false feet (pseudopods) encircles the food and the membrane in contact dissolves to form a food vacuole. then the food is ejested through the contractile vacuole.
What is the organelle that converts food energy to a form that can be used by the cell?
Vacuole
Does another food vacuole form after one has broken away?
Yes, after a food vacuole has broken away and merged with a lysosome for digestion, another food vacuole can form to engulf new nutrients entering the cell through endocytosis. This process allows the cell to continue capturing and digesting nutrients for energy and growth.
What does the contractile vacuole do in the ameba?
The contractile vacuole removes water from the cell. First it will collect the water and then then it will quickly contract releasing the water from the cell walls. It prevents it from bursting from the pressure from the water.
