Paramecium ingest food by phagocytosis.
Food enters through oral grove to cell mouth, there it enters a food vacoule. The food vacoule fuses with lysosome and is broken down by enzymes.
The food is digested in cytoplasm.
All undigested food remains in now smaller food vacoule which goes to anal pore, special sight on plasma membrane, and release the contents by exocytosis in the enviroment.
