Amoeba can constantly change its shape. It forms finger-like projections called pseudopodia (meaning false feet). around its prey and engulfs it. The food thus eaten gets trapped in the food vacuole. An Amoeba feeds on algae, rotifiers, protozoans, and even other small Amoeba. Digestive juices are secreted inside the food vacuole in an Amoeba. Theses juices act on the food and break it down into smaller components. The digested food is later absorbed by the Amoeba for growth, maintenance, and multiplication. The waste material or undigested food is then expelled out of the body.

HEY MATE!!!
■ Amoeba takes in food using temporary finger like extension of the cell surface which fuse over the food particle forming a food vacuole.
■ Inside the food vacuole,complex substances are broken down into simpler ones which then diffuse into the cytoplasm.
■ The remaining undigested material is moved to the surface of the cell and thrown out.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU!!!
