The process of digesting food in an amoeba involves engulfing food particles into a food vacuole through a process called phagocytosis. Once inside the food vacuole, enzymes break down the food particles into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the amoeba for energy. In contrast, a mouse has a complex digestive system with specialized organs such as the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Food is broken down mechanically by chewing and chemically by enzymes in the stomach and small intestine before being absorbed into the bloodstream for energy. Overall, both organisms break down food for energy, but the process is much more complex in a multicellular organism like a mouse compared to a unicellular amoeba.
