Vedclass · Answer

(D) In $Paramecium$,the process of feeding involves the movement of cilia which creates water currents that direct food particles toward the oral groove.From the oral groove,food particles enter the $Cytostome$ (cell mouth).The $Cytostome$ leads into a funnel-like structure called the $Cytopharynx$,where food vacuoles are formed.Therefore,the actual ingestion of food into the cell occurs through the $Cytostome$.
