Answer:
The process of obtaining food by Amoeba is called phagocytosis. ... Digestion: The food is digested in the food vacuole with the help of enzymes. Absorption: It is then absorbed in the cytoplasm of the Amoeba by diffusion. Assimilation: The absorbed food provides energy and a part of nutrition is used for growth.

Mode of feeding and digestion in amoeba
- Amoeba is a microscopic single-celled organism found in pond water which has a cell membrane, a round, dense nucleus and many bubble like vacuoles.
- The shape of amoeba is variable.
- It has tiny finger like projections called pseudopodia or false feet for movement and capture of food.
- It eats tiny organisms by spreading out its pseudopodia around its food particle and then engulfing it.
- The food gets trapped inside food vacuole, into which digestive juices are secreted and convert them into simpler substances.
- The digested food is then absorbed which is required for growth, maintenance and multiplication.
- The undigested food is expelled out by vacuole.
