Explanation:
Through a process called phagocytosis, the amoeba encloses the yeast cell with its membrane and draws it inside. Specialized plasma membrane proteins in the amoeba (in green) are involved in this act of phagocytosis, and they are later recycled back into the amoeba after the nutrients are engulfed.

Answer:
Amoeba engulfs food particles with the help of pseudopodia which are the projections of cell membranes. A food vacuole is then formed around the food particle. Amoeba then secrets digestive enzymes that break down the food particle and digest it. This process of engulfing or taking in a matter by the projections or invaginations of the cell membrane to form a vacuole is called endocytosis.
