Question

How does egestion take place in an amoeba?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ingestion: When a food particle is near the Amoeba, it forms temporary finger-like projections called pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it. Digestion: The food is digested in the food vacuole with the help of enzymes. Absorption: It is then absorbed in the cytoplasm of the Amoeba by diffusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

The egestion takes place by exocytosis. There is no particular point from which the egestion takes place. As the amoeba moves forward, the undigested matter is shifted to the back and eliminated as food pellets through a temporary opening formed at any nearest point on the plasmalemma.
