Answer:
Feeding And Digestion In Amoeba
Ingestion: Amoeba takes in its food through this process. Initially, it pushes out its pseudopodia so that it can encircle the food. After this, it engulfs the food, thus forming a bag-like structure called food vacuole. The process is known as “phagocytosis”.

Answer:
The following steps are included in the holozoic way of nourishment that is demonstrated by amoebas. -
- Ingestion: Swallowing allows food to enter the body during the ingestion process. By engulfing the food with their false feet, or pseudopodia, amoeba create a food vacuole. Therefore, the action of ingesting the food is known as phagocytosis.
- Digestion is the process by which insoluble food substances are broken down into smaller particles by the action of enzymes. Amoeba's food vacuoles travel further inside the cells, where enzymes break down the larger food particles into smaller ones.
- Assimilation: Assimilation is the process of obtaining energy from food that has been absorbed. Amoeba uses the food to build up the energy needed for its cell to carry out all of its vital functions.
- Egestion: The process of egestion involves removing all undigested food components from the bodily cells. This process is finished in amoebas by rupturing the plasma membrane, which causes the body to expel the undigested food.
