In three to five sentences, compare the process of digesting food in an amoeba (unicellular) to those in a mouse multicellular
Can you make it sound like a 7th gradeer made it
Thank you
In an amoeba, the food is digested inside its cell since it is a single-celled creature. It engulfs the food and forms a food vacuole where enzymes break down the food. The nutrients are absorbed into the cell, and the waste is expelled through a process called exocytosis.
In a mouse, which is made up of many cells, digestion involves different organs. It starts in the mouth where teeth break down the food, saliva helps soften it, and enzymes in the saliva start the digestion. Then, the food goes down the esophagus into the stomach, where strong acids and enzymes break it down further. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, and waste is passed through the large intestine and expelled as feces.
To summarize, amoebas digest their food inside one cell, while mice have different organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients in order to keep the mouse healthy.
