In amoeba the digestion is intracellular because it is a single cell organism.

Explanation:

  • Amoeba is a single cell organism. It consumes food with the help of pseudopodia, which fuse through a food particle to form a food vacuole. Vacuole food contains digestive enzymes.
  • The engulfed food is digested in the food vacuoles with the help of digestive enzymes. Two amylase and proteinase enzymes have been reported. Therefore, amoeba can digest carbohydrates and proteins.
  • The undigested food remains in the vacuole food.  
  • This digested food is a part of the protoplasm. Some food is used to generate energy through the respiration process and the remaining food is stored as a reserved food in the protoplasm.
