Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cytopharynx is a specialized region in some protists where food is ingested. It is a part of the cell membrane that extends inward, forming a funnel-shaped structure. This structure helps in engulfing the food and forming a food vacuole. The other options, such as oral hood, oral aperture, and cytosome, are not specific regions in protists for ingesting food. The cytopyge is a structure in some protists where waste is expelled from the cell.
