In Amoeba, it is holozoic nutrition. Where it is characterised by internalization, and Internal process of talking in gaseous substances, food particles. The whole Amoeba particle is moved during this process.
In paramecium, the food is taken in a specific spot and is moved to this spot by the movement of cilia which cover the entire surface of the cell


Hope it helped.

Amoeba's answer is in the image.

Paramecia : uses its cilia to sweep its food along with some water into the cell mouth. The food then enters into the gullet, which is like the stomach. Then, the food invaginates to form a food vacuole in the cytoplasm, and travels through the cell, through the back end first. As it moves along, enzymes from the cytoplasm enter the vacuole to digest the contents, digested nutrients then going into the cytoplasm, and the vacuole shrinks. When the vacuole reaches the anal pore, it ruptures, expelling its waste contents to the exterior.

So, both Amoeba and Paramoecium have holozoic type of nutrition i.e. food is engulfed and then digested in the cell.
