Solution
The correct option is D Both A and C
Exocytosis is a process in which the vesicle containing small particle is formed inside the cell, which then release the contents outside the cell by fusion of cell membrane and vesicular membrane. This way is not used by Amoeba to obtain its food.
Endocytosis is a process in which cells engulf molecules. Cells use this mechanism when the molecules are larger and polar hence, cannot pass through hydrophobic cell membrane.
The process shows engulfment of small food particles by forming an invagination around it then forming a small vesicle. This vesicle is then taken inside the cell and then vesicle is broken down to release the food particle. This process is also termed as 'phagocytosis'. Amoeba use phagocytosis process to obtain its food.
