The process of digesting food in an amoeba is mainly through phagocytosis, where the food is engulfed by the cell and broken down in a vacuole. In contrast, mice have complex digestive systems that involve the intake of food through the mouth, followed by the breakdown of food by teeth, enzymes, and stomach acid, before it is further broken down and absorbed in the small intestine. Additionally, mice rely on specific digestive organs like the liver and pancreas to produce enzymes necessary for digestion, while amoebas do not possess these organs and rely on the cell as a whole for digestion.
