Explanation:
They mostly feed on diatoms, algae, microscopic organisms and other dead organic matter present in water. The mode of nutrition in amoeba is Holozoic. Nutrition in an amoeba occurs through a process called phagocytosis where the entire organism pretty much engulfs the food it plans on eating up.
Amoeba is a single celled microscopic organism. It has no fixed shape . It has finger like projections called pseudopodia. Amoeba engulfs its food with the help of pseudopodia , they strech around and fuse with each other. This forms a vacuole in the cell called the food vacuole. The digestive juices in the food vacuole act on the food and break it down into simple substances , which are absorbed and utilised by the cytoplasm of the cell . The undigested food is expelled from the body through the cell membrane.
