In Amoeba, the cell has a definite shape and food is taken in at a specific spot.
Paramecium takes in food using temporary finger-like extensions of the cell surface which fuse over the food particle forming a food-vacuole.
Which of the above is / are correct? Answer:
None of the above
Notes: Amoeba takes in food using temporary finger-like extensions of the cell surface which fuse over the food particle forming a food-vacuole. Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones which then diffuse into the cytoplasm. In Paramecium, which is also a unicellular organism, the cell has a definite shape and food is taken in at a specific spot. Food is moved to this spot by the movement of cilia which covers the entire surface of the cell.
