Amoeba is an example of binary fission, where a single parent organism divides itself to form 2 daughter cells.
Amoeba takes in the food particle with the help of pseudopodia, and this step is called as ingestion.
The next step is digestion where the food particles are broken down
After that, the digested food is then absorbed
Then, its energy utilization
The last step involves removing undigested food particles
Answer:
Amoeba shows holozoic nutrition which Is comprised of following steps: Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption. Assimilation and Egestion
→Ingestion: Amoeba makes fingerlike projections called pseudopodia. Amoeba traps food particle with the help pseudopodia. After that, Amoeba takes in the food particle along with water.
→Digestion: Amoeba makes food vacuole after ingesting the food particle. Enzymes are released in the food vacuole for digestion.
→Absorption: After digestion, nutrients enter the cytoplasm through osmosis.
→Assimilation: Nutrients are utilized by the cell for various purposes.
Egestion: Food vacuole goes near the cell membrane to empty its contents outside the cell. This results in expulsion of waste materials from the cell.
