Because the lisosome, an enzyme, cannot deffrentiate the host from the food. So basically, it will degrade everything it encounters. In this case, intracellular digestion is a means of self-protection.

Which protozoan organelle is responsible for digestion?
The organelle primarily responsible for intracellular digestion.
Which organelle is closely related to intracellular digestion?
Digestion which takes place within the cytoplasm of the organism, as in many unicellular protozoans.
Main organelles of intracellular digestion?
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
Do mollusks undergo extracellular digestion or intracellular digestion?
Intracellular
What is the primary site of the intracellular digestion?
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
Name the cell organelle which function both a a passage way for intracellular transport and as a manufacturing surface?
endoplasmic reticulum
A sac bounded by a single membrane?
A sac bounded by a single membrane is called a lysosome. This organelle is present only in animal cells and contributes in intracellular digestion.
Organism which utilizes intracellular digestion?
Unicellular eukaryotes achieve intracellular digestion through the process of endocytosis, phagocytosis, and use of food vacuoles and lysosomes. A paramecium is an example of an organism that uses intracellular digestion vs. humans which utilize extracellular digestion.
Is paramecium digestion extracellular?
No. its intracellular.
What are lysome?
Lysosomes are the organelles that are responsible for breaking down the cellular waste in animal cells. Lysosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Can fungi carry out intracellular digestion?
YES
What type of digestion system do paramecium have?
intracellular
