Why is digestion in Amoeba considered different from digestion in a multicellular digestive system?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Amoeba digests food inside the cell in a food vacuole
Amoeba is unicellular, so it has no separate organs or a tubular digestive tract. It surrounds food using pseudopodia and encloses it in a food vacuole. Digestive enzymes act inside this vacuole, nutrients pass into the cytoplasm, and undigested residue is expelled from the cell. Therefore option A is correct. The other choices incorrectly assign multicellular organs, blood circulation, or photosynthesis to Amoeba.
