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.

∙ 10y agoThe intracellular digestion in amoeba and paramecium resembles extracellular digestion because amoeba and paramecium use a substance to digest their food called a 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.
What is a ID on Ameba Pigg?
An ID on Ameba Pigg is what people see as your username. It will be your online name for Ameba Pigg. You will be able to change it like on Ameba Pico.
Which protist has an oral groove?
The paramecium.
What do amoeba and paramecium eat?
I don't know about paramecium but amoebas eat paramecium.
Is a paramecium a phytoplankton?
A Paramecium is a protoctist
Where does ameba and paramecium live?
These are fresh water protists. Lakes, streams and ponds would harbor paramecium and amoebae.
Where ameba and paramecium live?
Both are aquatic in habit i.e. they live in water .
Is paramecium digestion extracellular?
No. its intracellular.
What type of digestion system do paramecium have?
intracellular
Why cant the paramecium changes shape like the ameba?
because it has a thick outer membrane called the pellicle
Which organism carries autotropic nutrition?
ameba, paramecium, euglena, volvox, and spirogyra. Basically anything in the protist kingdom.
Why can't paramecium change shape like the ameba?
They can't change shape because of the thick outer membrane called the pellicle.
What is known as microorganisms?
1.Viruses 2.Monera (blue-green algae and bacteria) 3.Protists (euglena, paramecium, and ameba)

What would happen to the paramecium if it did not have a contractile vacuole?
If a paramecium did not have a contractile vacuole or it did not work it would fill with water and lyse.
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.
