In protozoa, the food vacuole serves as a storage compartment for ingested nutrients. After the organism engulfs food particles through processes like phagocytosis, the food vacuole forms to encapsulate these particles, allowing for digestion and absorption of essential nutrients. Enzymes within the vacuole break down the food, providing energy and building blocks for cellular processes. Additionally, waste products can be expelled from the vacuole once digestion is complete.
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called the vacuole. The vacuole contains enzymes that help in breaking down food particles for absorption and energy production.
plasma membrane. it controls the water movement through osmosis.
The gullet in Paramecium functions to take in food particles through phagocytosis and transport them to the food vacuole for digestion. It helps with the ingestion of food and plays a critical role in the feeding process of the organism.
The vacuole can have several nicknames, like the refrigerator, the trash can, or the storage tank. This is because the vacuole's primary function is to store the cell's food, water, waste, and other materials.
Contractile Vacuole
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called the vacuole. The vacuole contains enzymes that help in breaking down food particles for absorption and energy production.
The vacuole's function is to store food and water in the plant cell.
The vacuole's function is to store food and water in the plant cell.
to digest the food.
The Vacuole stores food in order for the plant cell to survive
A contractile vacuole is present in a paramecium protozoa but absent in the cells of a strawberry plant. The contractile vacuole helps regulate water content in paramecium cells by expelling excess water, a function not needed in plant cells due to their rigid cell walls.
plasma membrane. it controls the water movement through osmosis.
It is an amoeba that eats other protozoa. It snags them in its tentacles, paralyzes them, and then slowly pulls them into a food vacuole for digestion.
It is called a digestive vacuole.
VacUnless break down food , water , and waste in the cell .
to digest the food.
get a life its not that important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Who ever wrote this is a prick.)
