How is food vacuole formed?

Best Answers

Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs found in cells. They are larger than their closer relative, the vesicle. They are small sacs formed when food comes into contact with the cellular membrane. The vacuole itself is often created from the plasma membrane pinching off whatever is needed to be destroyed. read more

Food vacuoles form when the food is pushed toward the cell where the membrane bends inward. As the food pushes against the membrane, the membrane stretches inward until the food particle is completely in the cell, where the membrane then pinches off, forming a vacuole. read more
