What is the function of the food vacuole of the paramecium?
to digest the food.
What does the food vacuole do in a paramecium?
the food vacuole helps digest the parameciums food inside the food vacuole
What is the function of the food vacuole in the paramecium?
to digest the food.
What does a food vacuole in a paramecium do?
Food Vacuole
Where does the paramecium store his food?
In the vacuole the Paramecium stores its food:) youre welcome
What process does a paramecium use to make a food vacuole?
They use their food vacuole to produce their food.
Does paramecium digest it food?
Paramecium feed on microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and yeasts. In order to gather its food the paramecium uses its cilia to sweep the food along with some water into the cell mouth after it falls into the oral groove. The food goes through the cell mouth into the gullet, which is like the stomach. When there is enough food in it so that it has reached a certain size it breaks away and forms a food vacuole. The food vacuole travels through the cell, through the back end first. As it moves along enzymes from the cytoplasm enter the vacuole and digest it. The digested food then goes into the cytoplasm and the vacuole gets smaller and smaller. When the vacuole reaches the anal pore the remaining undigested waste is removed.
Where is food contain in a paramecium?
food is contain in the vacuole <3
What is function of gullet in paramecium?
Carries food from the oral groove to the food vacuole.
What is the name for the mouth of the paramecium?
Paramecium have an oral groove that is connected to a cytopharynx that leads to a food vacuole.
Describe the path of food in a paramecium?
Paramecium use processes known as endocytosis and exocytosis for their food digestion. When they encounter something that they know they can digest they quickly intake the food during their endocytosis process. The food once consumed enters a food vacuole that is used for direct digestion. Exocytosis is the process that is then used to dispose of any waste from the food not used by the paramecium.
Where does digestion happen in the ameba and paramecium?
Digestion in amoeba is intracellular taking place within the cell. The food taken in remains in a food vacuole or gastric vacuole formed by the cell membrane and small part of the cytoplasm. The vacuoles are transported deeper into the cells by cytoplasmic movements. Here they fuse with lysosomes that contain enzymes. Two enzymes amylase and proteinase have been reported. Thus, amoeba can digest sugars, cellulose and proteins. Fats, however, remain undigested. The contents of the vacuole become lighter and the outline of the vacuole becomes indefinite indicating that the digestion is complete.
