How does an an Amoeba obtain it's food?
Answers
Here's your answer! ❤
Amoeba feeds on microscopic organisms. It uses Pueudopodia or false feet to capture its food.
When it senses food, it pushes out pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it. The food becomes trapped in a food vacuole.

Answer:
[Refer to the attachment].
Amoeba acquires its food through endocytosis. Endocytosis refers to invagination of a small region of plasma membrane,and ultimately forming an intra - cellular membrane - bound vesicle. This process is generally involved for the ingestion of food material. Intake of liquid food using endocytosis is called pinocytosis or cell drinking. Similarly, intake of solid particles by a cell through its cell membrane is called phagocytosis or cell eating. In this process, cell membrane puts up protoplasmic processes around the food particle. The processes join, fuse to form phagosome.

※ Bulk Transport of materials involves special processes to transport macromolecules, lipid droplets and solid food particles in large amounts across the plasma membrane by utilizing energy. These include endocytosis and exocytosis.
※ In simple words, Endocytosis is the process by which animals engulf food and other substances from external medium by plasma membrane.
※ Exocytosis is the process that involves fusion of membrane of the exocytotic vesicle with the plasma membrane to extrude its contents to the surrounding medium.
