What does the Food Vacuole do in the Amoeba Cell?
The food vacuole is formed by the outer membrane of the amoeba after phagocytosis, digestive enzymes then enter the food vacuole which digest the food that was recently taken in by pseudopods.
How do large food particles enter the amoeba?
The amoeba uses phagocytosis (it surrounds it and brings it into a vesicle).
Why does Amoeba not burst when but into water?
The amoeba does not burst when put in water because it is already full of water. No water can enter the amoeba if it is already filled to capacity.
What is the role for vacuole?
The vacuole of a plant cell consists of a fluid-filled sac bounded by a single membrane called the tonoplast. It contains a substance called cell sap, which acts as a storage site for chemicals such as glucose and amino acids. It also provides an osmotic system that functions in the support of young tissues. Water can also enter the vacuole, causing the cell contents to be pushed against the cell wall, enabling the cell to become turgid.
How does and amoeba use energy?
An amoeba gets energy in the same way that you do - from its food. An amoeba feeds by sending out 'bulges' of its cytoplasm, called pseudopodia, to surround a small food particle eg a smaller protozoan or an alga. The food, together with a small drop of the water is taken into the cell to become a food vacuole. Enzymes are then added to the food vacuole to digest the food. The soluble products of digestion are taken into the cytoplasm and used for respiration or growth. The release of energy from food is called respiration. Usually, the sugar called glucose is used by cells. Respiration usually involves 'burning' the food with oxygen. When this happens water and carbon dioxide are also produced: glucose + oxygen ---> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY For a number of interesting articles about amoebae with photographs, go to: http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/full_menu.html Select Miscape article library, click on the Find icon and enter amoeba into the search box.

Active transport
What breaks down nutrients before they enter the vacuole?
Lysosomes.

How does a paramecium eat?
A paramecium eats by using its cilia to sweep food particles into its oral groove. The food particles are then engulfed by the paramecium and enclosed in a food vacuole. Digestive enzymes are then secreted into the food vacuole to break down the food particles for absorption.

What are substance that enter into a reaction?
The substances that enter into a reaction are called reactants.
What is the function of the food vacuole in the paramecium?
to digest the food.
What to press to create a line break?
Shift + Enter
What is the part that allows nutrients to enter the cell is it the cell membrane the nuclear us or the vacuole?
The part that allows nutrients to enter the cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, allowing essential nutrients to enter while keeping harmful substances out. The nucleus and vacuole have different functions and do not play a direct role in nutrient uptake.
