Question

explain how amoeba take food

Answer 1

Amoeba has no specific shape. It has a pseudopodia. That means false foot. It has no shape, it can change its shape into anything it wants.

So, when there is a food particle around, it throws its pseudopodia around the food particles and traps it. Then it absorbs it into its body.

Answer 2

$\huge \text{Hey Mate}$

• Intake of food in Amoeba occurs by temporary finger like extensions of cell surface called pseudopodia which fuse over the food particle forming a food vacuole.

• Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones. This is called intracellular digestion.

• The digested food then diffuses into cytoplasm.

• The absorbed food is utilised to meet the energy requirements of Amoeba.

• The remaining undigested material is moved to surface and thrown out of cell.
