Solution
The correct option is B Intracellular
- Every organism requires energy to be active. However, to obtain energy from its outside environment, cells must not only receive molecules from their surroundings but also break them down. This process is known as intracellular digestion.
- Intracellular digestion is the breakdown of substances within the cytoplasm of a cell. It can also refer to the process in which animals that lack a digestive tract bring food items into the cell for the purposes of digestion for nutritional needs.
- This kind of intracellular digestion occurs in many unicellular protozoans, in some molluscs, Cnidaria and Porifera. Hence, the type of digestion is carried by protozoans intracellular.
So, the correct answer is 'Intracellular'.
