The role of lysosomes in intracellular digestionDigestion in protozoan organisms such as amoebas and paramecia takes place when a food particle is encased in a food vacuole. The vacuole and a lysosome unite, forming a digestive vacuole, and the products of digestion are absorbed across the vacuolar membrane. Indigestible wastes are ultimately expelled.
