How does amoeba ingest its food and where is it digested?
Answers
Explanation:
Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat). ... Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.

Explanation:
Amoebas are single-celled protozoans of the order Amoebida. They consist of a mass of cellular fluid surrounded by a membrane, and containing one or more nuclei (depending upon the species), as well as other cell organelles, such as food vacuoles.
The word amoeba is derived from the Greek word ameibein (to change), which describes the amoeba's most easily distinguishable feature, the continuous changing of shape by repeated formation of pseudopods (Greek: false feet).
Pseudopodal movement is based on a continual change in the state of protoplasm flowing into the foot-like appendage. An interior fluid (endoplasm), under pressure from an exterior gel (ectoplasm), flows forward in the cell. When the endoplasm reaches the tip of a developing pseudopod, the fluid is forced backward against the ectoplasm, and is turned into a gel. After returning to the body of the cell, the newly formed ectoplasm gel is converted back to fluid endoplasm, and again flows forward under the pressure of the exterior gel.
