Food vacuoles are formed when amoebas or any other cells engulf food elements, particles or molecules that it needs by the process known as phagocytosis. The hydrophillic end of the plasma membrane's molecules surround the food particle forming a bubble around it. A vacuole is not an organelle, therefore.
What else can I help you with?
What process does a paramecium use to make a food vacuole?
A paramecium uses phagocytosis to form a food vacuole. In this process, the paramecium surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane, forming a vacuole containing the food. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.
What is the organelle that converts food energy to a form that can be used by the cell?
Vacuole
Does another food vacuole form after one has broken away?
Yes, after a food vacuole has broken away and merged with a lysosome for digestion, another food vacuole can form to engulf new nutrients entering the cell through endocytosis. This process allows the cell to continue capturing and digesting nutrients for energy and growth.
What part of an amoeba helps it capture food?
food vacuole is a small cavity in the cytoplasm that temporarily store food.
How does sarcodine get food?
Sarcodines, such as amoebas, obtain food through phagocytosis. They use their pseudopods to surround and engulf food particles or other organisms. Once surrounded, the food is taken into a food vacuole for digestion.
How does an ameba form a food vacuole?
through budding of the vacuole from the plasma membrane

How does an amoebae take in food?
its false feet (pseudopods) encircles the food and the membrane in contact dissolves to form a food vacuole. then the food is ejested through the contractile vacuole.
What stores food and waste in a cell?
Well the answer to your question is (Plasma).

What is a food vacuole?
A membrane-bound vacuole (as in an ameba) where ingested food is digested.
How do amoeba get their food?
The amoeba moves its psuedopodia (false feet) around the food particle. thus a food vacuole is formed.then the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes into the food vacuole and the food particle is digested and assimilated.the waste particle is thrown out by moving the particle towards the surface of the body and it is excreted. :)
How does a amoeba gather food?
An amoeba gathers food through a process called phagocytosis, where it surrounds and engulfs its food, such as bacteria or algae, with its cell membrane to form a food vacuole. Enzymes are then released into the vacuole to digest the food, allowing the amoeba to absorb the nutrients.
What does the food vacuole do in a paramecium?
The food vacuole in a paramecium is a structure that forms during phagocytosis to engulf and digest food particles. It helps break down the food into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the paramecium for energy and nutrients. Once digestion is complete, the food vacuole expels any remaining waste materials from the cell.
