Question

show with the help of a flow sheet diagram the nutritional process in amoeba ​

Answer 1

Amoeba is a microscopic unicellular organism. It mostly resides in places like pond water. It’s structure consists of the following basic components:

a cell membrane
a nucleus
cytoplasm – endoplasm and ectoplasm
small food vacuoles ( these look like small bubbles )
finger-like projections called pseudopodia ( also known as ” false feet” )
Fun fact: With the help of pseudopodia, this unicellular organism can not only change its size and shape but also capture its food!

Feeding And Digestion In Amoeba
Amoeba possesses a holozoic mode of nutrition and process is known as “phagocytosis”. The basic processes involved in the nutrition include: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”.
Digestion: This step follows ingestion. The food vacuoles are rich in various digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down large insoluble foodstuffs consequently yielding simple soluble molecules.
Absorption: It is the process of absorption of the digested food material into the cytoplasm leaving behind the undigested food material. Sometimes the amoeba absorbs large quantities of food. What happens to the excess food? Well, the excess food gets stored in the form of glycogen as well as lipids.
Assimilation: This is the “utilization” process. During this process, the absorbed food is utilized for energy production, growth, repair as well as for multiplication.
Egestion: Finally, the cell membrane gets ruptured so that the undigested food material is thrown out of the body.
