Assimilation: Utilization of the absorbed molecules for various metabolic processes. Egestion: The expulsion of undigested material, commonly called defecating.

Nutrition in an Amoeba occurs through a process called phagocytosis where the entire organism pretty much engulfs the food it plans on eating up. The mode of nutrition in amoeba is known as holozoic nutrition. It involves the ingestion, digestion and egestion of food material.
