Question

Engulfing of food materials or foreign bodies by cells like Amoeba is called:

A. Diffusion
B. Endocytosis
C. Osmosis
D. Plasmolysis

Answer 1

Answer :

(B) Endocytosis

Explanation:

Its process by which certain living cells called phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles. The phagocyte may be a free-living one-celled organism, such as an amoeba, or one of the body cells, such as a white blood cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

Endocytosis

Explanation:

Endocytosis is a process by which amoeba engulfs its food. Amoeba has finger-like projections called pseudopodia. Pseudopodia forms a vacuole around it and helps in engulfing the food. When the food particle is completely trapped inside its vacuole amoeba secretes its digestive enzymes and digests the food. This type of nutrition is called holozoic mode of nutrition.
