Question

in three sentences, compare the process of digesting food in an amoeba (unicellular) to those in a mouse (multicellular). write it as a 6th grader

Answer 1

Amoebas digest food by surrounding and swallowing their food particles with their body, letting enzymes break it down inside their cell. In contrast, mice have a more complex digestive system, where food is chewed, swallowed, and processed through different organs like the stomach and intestines. This means that while amoebas do everything in one cell, mice use many parts of their body to help break down and absorb nutrients from their food!
