NUTRITION IN AMOEBA
Amoeba is a single-celled organism . it is an aquatic animal that feeds on microscopic organisms found in water. when amoeba senses food in its surroundings, it starts moving in that direction with the help of finger-like projections of the body called pseudopodia . the word pseudo means false and the word podia means feet . the false feet surround the food particles and engulfs it with a drop of water . the food with the drop of water forms the food vacuole . the vacuole stores the food taken in . some digestive juices are secreted into the food vacuole where the food is digested . the digested food is absorbed from the vacuole in the body and bursts open to throw out the waste . this process of removing waste from the body is called egestion .
