Food vacuole in Amoeba is analogous to:

  • A.Digestive tract of higher animals
  • B.Circulatory system of high animals
  • C.Only mouth of higher animals
  • D.None of these

Answer: A

Correct answer: Digestive tract of higher animals

The food vacuole is where digestion happens: enzymes are secreted into it, the food is broken down, the products pass into the cytoplasm and the residue is expelled. That is the whole function of a gut, performed within a single cell - which is the point of calling a protozoan acellular rather than unicellular.
