Answer:
Explanation:
AMOBEA PROTEUS lives in shallow lakes and ponds,It feeds on microscopic organisms such as smaller protozoa and algae.The ingestion of food takes place through the body surface of Amobea, Amobea constantly changes its shape and position.It pushes out one or more finger like projections,called pseudopodia or false feet.
for movement and capture of food, Prey is enclosed in a food vacuole.(with a little water) by the action of pseudopodia flowing around food item, An enzyme called lysosome which contains hydrochloric enzymes is secreted in the food vacoule. FIRST IN acidic AND THEN, it goes into an alkaline phase.The products of digestion are absorbed into cytoplasm and undigested residue of the food is expelled outside by the vacuole.
