Amoeba obtains food by the process of endocytosis. This happens with the help of pseudopodia i.e. false feet. They fuse over food particles which results in the formation of food vacuole. Inside food vacuole, the complex structure of the food is broken down into simpler substances.

Amoeba obtain its food from Holozoic mode of nutrition.
1.The entire body surface of amoeba is capable of intake of food.
2.It can form temporary finger like extensions (Pseudopodia) of the cell surface which fuse over the food particles forming a food vacuole.
3.The complex substances are broken down into simpler ones by using digestive enzymes inside the food vacuoles. These substances then diffuse into the cytoplasm.
4.Undigested food material remaining in the food vacuole is moved to the cell surface and thrown out.
