food is contain in the vacuole <3
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
Sure I guess well kind of... not really
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.
the water vacuole absorbs and releases water
A food vacuole in a paramecium is a small space within the cell where food particles are engulfed and digested. It helps the paramecium to obtain nutrients from its environment and store them for energy production. Once the digestion is complete, the remaining waste is expelled from the cell.
to digest the food.
Paramecium digests food in a specialized vacuole known as the food vacuole. After the organism consumes food through its oral groove, the food particles are enclosed in this vacuole, where enzymes break them down into usable nutrients. The nutrients are then absorbed by the paramecium, while waste products are expelled from the cell through a process called exocytosis.
The food vacuole in a paramecium is a structure that forms during phagocytosis to engulf and digest food particles. It helps break down the food into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the paramecium for energy and nutrients. Once digestion is complete, the food vacuole expels any remaining waste materials from the cell.
The paramecium would have difficulty regulating its water balance, leading to swelling and potential bursting from an influx of water. Without a contractile vacuole, the paramecium would struggle to expel excess water and maintain osmotic balance, ultimately leading to cell damage or death.
