1) Both amoeba and mice use physical processes to break down food. Amoeba engulf food particles through phagocytosis, while mice break down food through chewing and grinding in the mouth.
2) Both amoeba and mice have specialized compartments in their cells to digest food. Amoeba possess food vacuoles where enzymatic digestion occurs, while mice have a digestive system consisting of organs such as the stomach and intestines.
3) Both amoeba and mice rely on enzymes for digestion. Amoeba release enzymes into the food vacuole to break down food, while mice secrete enzymes from the salivary glands, stomach, and pancreas to break down food into smaller molecules.
4) Both amoeba and mice absorb digested food molecules across their cell membranes. Amoeba directly absorb nutrients from the food vacuole into their cytoplasm, while mice absorb nutrients through the lining of their intestines into their bloodstream.
5) Both amoeba and mice eliminate undigested waste material. Amoeba expel undigested particles through the plasma membrane, while mice eliminate waste as feces through the rectum.
