The flexibility of plasma membrane helps uni-cellular organisms like Amoeba to engulf food by a process called ENDOCYTOSIS.

Amoeba folds it’s plasma membrane and makes false feet known as PSEUDOPODIA which help it to trap food in a food vacuole and digest it.

chrisi0702: yaah by producing pcuedopodia n phogocytosis by engulfing the bacteria n killing it
Dasham10: Correct!
Dasham10: ENDOCYTOSIS is also called PHAGOCYTOSIS
chrisi0702: yaah.....i learnt phagocytosis.....white blood cells or leucocytes enfulf the bacteria by oozing out from the blood capillaries n engulf thebacteria which is known as phagocytosis
