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.
Mastication, or chewing, is an extremely important part of the digestive process, especially for fruits and vegetables, as these have indigestible cellulose coats which must be physically broken down. Also, digestive enzymes only work on the surfaces of food particles, so the smaller the particle, the more efficient the digestive process. While the food is being mechanically broken down, the enzymes in saliva begin to chemically process the food as well.
