Amoeba is unicellular animal. It acquires its food by the process of endocytosis. Plasma membrane of amoeba is flexible with its help amoeba in engulfs food particles.
The engulfed food particle passes into the body of organism as a phagosome. Phagosome combines with lysosome to produce digestive or food vacuole.
Digestion occurs in food vacuole. The digested food passes into surrounding cytoplasm. The undigested matter is thrown out of the cell.
