You Are Viewing a Sample of Pond Water Under the Microscope

question 37

Short Answer

You are viewing a sample of pond water under the microscope. The sample contains a variety of microorganisms, some moving faster than others. You spot a Paramecium that is being followed by a Didinium almost as large as itself; the Paramecium initially swims away and tries to escape, but Didinium, which moves in faster bursts, finally stops it and attaches firmly onto the side of the Paramecium and proceeds to eat it. What type of endocytosis will ensue? Write down the name of the process as your answer. Do not use abbreviations.
