Question

A cell has formed a food vacuole as it ingested a food particle. What events is associated with the breakdown of that food particle?

Answer 1

• The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:
• Enzymes for the breakdown of the food are delivered to the food vacuole from the cytosol.
• Proteins for digestion of the food are made by ribosomes in the Golgi apparatus.
• The membrane of the food vacuole is derived from the cell wall.
• Proteins for digestion of the food particle were initially processed in mitochondria.
• Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm.

Answer:

Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

A food vacuole is a digestive organelle present in the protozoans which contains the enzymes responsible for digestion. The food vacuole is membrane-bound organelle thus separates the food particles from the cytoplasm of the cell.

The digestive enzymes like proteases, DNases, RNases, lipase and many other enzymes digest the macromolecules and convert them to simple compounds. These nutrients are then used by the organism for the growth of the cell.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
