Question

How is food ingested in amoeba??

Answer 1

Answer:Feeding And Digestion In Amoeba

Ingestion: Amoeba takes in its food through this process. Initially, it pushes out its pseudopodia so that it can encircle the food. After this, it engulfs the food, thus forming a bag-like structure called food vacuole. The process is known as “phagocytosis”.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Amoeba can constantly change its shape. It forms finger-like projections called pseudopodia(meaning false feet). Pseudopodia help the Amoeba in moving and capturing food. When an Amoeba senses its prey, it pushes out its pseudopodia around its prey and engulfs it. The food thus eaten gets trapped in the food vacuole.
