food vacuole

At the end of the gullet, a food vacuole forms.

Inside the body, digestion may take place in organelles called food vacuoles.

The food vacuole is small and the parasite is compact.

Food vacuoles are commonly filled with bacteria and yeast.

The cytoplasm of the prey is then drawn into a large posterior food vacuole.

We're in a food vacuole right now and digestive enzymes are pouring in around us."

Food can be taken from outside the cell into food vacuoles by a process called endocytosis.

There are numerous food vacuoles and contain cellular debris, blood cells and bacteria.

These food vacuoles fuse with lysosomes which break down the components so that they can be used in the cell.

The cytoplasm typically contains numerous food vacuoles that contain ingested debris, including bacteria.

It is implied that effective drug treatments can be developed by targeting the proteolytic enzymes of the food vacuole.

It is thought to act by forming toxic heme complexes that damage parasitic food vacuoles.

The food is moved by the cilia through the mouth pore into the gullet, which forms food vacuoles.

Many clinically used drugs are thought to act by inhibiting the formation of hemozoin in the food vacuole.

They fuse to make a food vacuole which then fuses with a lysosome to add digestive chemicals.

The food vacuole, or digestive vacuole, is an organelle found in parasites that cause malaria.

Its cytoplasm is then sucked directly into a food vacuole inside the cell, where its contents are digested and absorbed.

When the food enters its body the amoeba forms a food vacuole around it which contains certain enzymes to digest the food.

Members of a heterotrophic class, the Bicosoecida, similarly contain only two mitochondria, one food vacuole and a nucleus.

Inside this food vacuole we may be slowly turning or the vacuole itself may be drifting through the cell's substance.

This enzyme is found in the parasitophorous vacuole, food vacuole and cytosol.

The nucleus occupies an apical-to-central position in the cell, and food vacuoles are positioned in the basal region of the cytoplasm.

Other protists can engulf bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell membrane around the food material to form a food vacuole.

The food vacuole is the specialized compartment that degrades hemoglobin during the asexual erythrocytic stage of the parasite.
