How digestion takes place in Amoeba?

➡We know, Amoeba is a microscopic single celled organism found in pond water.

➡It constantly changes its shape and position.

▶▶▶▶▶Digestion in Amoeba◀◀◀◀◀

✔Amoeba feeds on some microscopic organisms.

✔When it senses food, it pushes out its pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it.

✔The food becomes trapped in a food vacuole.

✔Digestive juices are secreted into the food vacuole.

✔They act on the food and break it down into simpler substances.

✔Gradually the digested food is absorbed.

✔The absorbed substances are used for growth, maintenance and multiplication.

✔The undigested residue of the food is expelled outside by the vacuole.

Answer 2

Ingestion:the food particle is sensed and is engulfed using pseudopodia .
Digestion:the food is enclosed in a vacuole that consists digestive enzymes that breakdown the food into simpler substances.
Assimilation:the simple substances are directly absorbed to meet the needs of the organism
Egestion:the undigested food is then pushed out of the cell
