Question

what is mode of digestion in paramecium?

Answer 1

In Paramecium, food is ingested through a definite cell mouth. The cilia present all over the body move continuously to push the food particles along the water current. The food entering inside collects to form a food vacuole. Digestion of food occurs inside this food vacuole. The undigested food is removed through a definite anal spot. We can conclude that Paramecium has holozoic mode of nutrition.
