Question 7
How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

Answer 1

Amoeba takes in food using temporary finger-like extensions of the cell surface, called pseudopodia, which extend and fuse over the food particle forming a food-vacuole as shown in the figure. Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones which then diffuse into the cytoplasm. The remaining undigested material is moved to the surface of the cell and thrown out.
