Solution

The correct option is A Food vacuole formed by pseudopodia helps in nutrition
In amoebic nutrition, food particles are surrounded by pseudopodia which form food vacuoles. Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones and then absorbed through diffusion into the cytoplasm. Undigested food is moved to the surface of the cell and thrown out.

Q. Which of the following is a mode of nutrition in which organisms take in food from outside and digest it inside their bodies?

Q. Case: Neena was writing a project report on modes of nutrition in different organisms. Heterotrophic organisms display three modes of nutrition i.e., saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. In the holozoic mode of nutrition, a study on the digestive system of different animals showed that the length of the food pipe or oesophagus in different animals are different. The study showed that herbivores have a longer small intestine as compared to carnivores.
Help Neena to complete her report by answering the following question:

State the adaptations of the small intestine that help in the absorption of food.
