In 3-5 sentences, COMPARE TO NOT CONTRAST the process of digesting food in an amoeba ( unicellular) to those in a mouse ( multicellular
1 answer
Both amoebas and mice undergo the process of digesting food to obtain nutrients, although their mechanisms differ due to their unicellular and multicellular nature, respectively. Amoebas, being unicellular, engulf food particles through a process called phagocytosis, forming food vacuoles that are then transported to lysosomes for digestion. In mice, food is initially broken down mechanically in the mouth and chemically in the stomach through the secretion of enzymes, before being absorbed in the small intestine and further broken down by enzymes for nutrient extraction. Despite these differences, both organisms depend on the process of digestion to obtain energy for survival.
