Question

Briefly describe the nutrition in amoeba

Answer 1

The mode of nutrition in amoeba is called as holozoic mode of nutrition.

Explanation:

• Pseudopodia are the parts of amoeba which it uses for movement as well as surrounding the food particles.

• Once the pseudopodia encircles around a food particle, lysosomes are secreted which are involved in the break down or phagocytosis of he food particle.

• The larger food particles are broken down into smaller ones.

• Then, the body of the amoeba engulfs the food material and excretes the waste by the process of diffusion.
