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.

yaah by producing pcuedopodia n phogocytosis by engulfing the bacteria n killing it
