Although hospice and palliative care share the same principles of providing comfort and support for patients, palliative care is available throughout a patientâs experience with cancer, whereas hospice is offered only toward the end of life.
The process used by some protists to actively ingest food particles is called Phagocytosis.ther protists like fungus grow  above their food source to get nutrients. Some protists engulf  bacteria and digest them internally, by extending their cell  membrane and forming a vacuole around the bacteria.
Plants take in nutrients directly from the soil through their roots and from the atmosphere through their leaves. Animals and protists have specialized digestive systems that work to break down macronutrients for energy and utilize micronutrients for both metabolism and anabolism (constructive synthesis) in the body.
