Question

how does ingestion occur in amoeba ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ingestion is the process of taking in the food into the body either by swallowing or absorbing it. Amoeba pushes out the pseudopodia to encircle the food and engulfs it forming a food vacuole. This process is known as phagocytosis.

Answer 2

Ingestion of food in amoeba takes place by process of endocytosis (specifically phagocytosis). Pseudopodia wrap around the food particle and form a bag-like structure food vacuole. This is how food ingestion takes place in unicellular organisms like amoeba.
