Food vacuole is an organelle that is same as a stomach in a sentor and other protists. Food vacuoles are a circular portion of the plasma membrane that encircles food particles in the cells. It has a digestive function containing material carried up during phagocytosis.

The protists are single-celled eukaryotic organisms. Like all other eukaryotes, they possess various organelles with different functions,
When it comes to digestion, the protists use lysosomes to digest the organic materials they have ingested through a food vacuole. The enzymes in the vacuole dissolve the molecules in order to make them usable for the cell.
