Hey mate !!

Here's the answer !!

Amoeba is an unicellular organism that procures its food by the method of diffusion. Let me explain them one by one:

First step : Amoeba gets closer to the food particle through locomotion. It then surrounds the food particle by the help of pseudopodia. 

Second step : After surrounding the food, a vacuole known as food vacuole develops. This is responsible for the digestion of food material inside the body.

Third step : After digestion the food particle, the nutrition is absorbed by the amoeba and the waste or remains of the food is left over. 

Fourth step : To expel the waste food outside of the body, a vacuole known as contractile vacuole develops. This vacuole expels the food particles outside the body. 

Refer to the attachment for the diagram. 

Hope my answer helped !!

Cheers !!

Amoeba uses pseudopodia(false foot) for locomotion and when it comes in contact with food the pseudopodia extends and traps the food and then digest it in food vacuole and then after removes the undigested food from pseudopodia.
