Colpidium colpoda is in contact with the environment due to its membrane containing receptor, once it detects the presence of a bacterium able to be phagocyted by the cell, it will go towards it by the cilia there will have membrane invagination due to the contraction of the cytoskeleton (actin-myosin) with the presence of ATP generated by mitochondria, and a stimulation of the secretion of enzymes to degrade the ingenous bacterium (RNA synthesis by the nucleus and translation by ribosomes).
