Question 45
How does an amoeba obtain its food?

Answer 1

An amoeba takes in food using temporary extensions called "pseudopods" on the cell surface which envelop the food particle completely, forming a "food-vacuole". Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones. The simpler substances then find their way to the cytoplasm through diffusion. The remaining undigested material is moved to the surface of the cell and thrown out.
