In three to five sentences, compare the process of digesting food in an amoeba (unicellular) to those in a mouse (multicellular)

Answer 1

The process of digesting food in an amoeba is intracellular, meaning it occurs within the cell. The amoeba engulfs food particles through phagocytosis and then forms a food vacuole where the enzymes break down the food. In contrast, a mouse digests food extracellularly, in multiple organs, including the mouth, stomach, and intestines, where enzymes and acids chemically break down food into smaller components. The mouse also relies on a circulatory system to transport nutrients throughout the body.
