In an amoeba, the process of digesting food occurs within the cell itself through phagocytosis, where food particles are engulfed and broken down in specialized digestive vesicles. In contrast, a mouse has a digestive system with specialized organs such as the stomach and intestines that work together to break down food into smaller molecules for absorption. While an amoeba relies on internal cellular structures for digestion, a mouse relies on a complex system of organs to aid in the digestion process. Both organisms ultimately convert food into nutrients that can be used for energy and growth, but the mechanisms and complexity of their digestive processes differ due to their unicellular and multicellular nature.
