Question

How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

Answer 1

Endocytosis:

1. Amoeba obtains its food through the process of endocytosis.
2. Amoeba ingests their food by extending the pseudopods.
3. These extended pseudopods encircle and engulf live prey or particles and then forms a vacuole around them. This process is called phagocytosis or endocytosis.
4. Amoeba does not have a mouth.
5. When the particle is completely trapped the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes that digest the food.
