That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
In single-celled animals, such as amoebas, the food is taken in through the body surface. These organisms have a flexible cell membrane that can surround and engulf food particles. Once the food is enclosed in a small pocket called a food vacuole, it is digested and nutrients are absorbed into the cell. Unlike multicellular animals, single-celled organisms do not have specialized structures like mouths or teeth for feeding. Instead, they rely on their cell membrane to directly interact with their environment and obtain nutrients.
