Amoeba Is Micro organic which is Not a Fixed Shape. Amoeba Eat By Food Vacuole.
Amoeba is found in freshwater. It feeds on microscopic algae, bacteria, plant cells and other microscopic protozoa present in water.
Ingestion : When an Amoeba senses a food particle, it encircles the particle by forming two pseudopodia around it. When the food particle is completely and encircled, it is engulfed in the form of a vacuole called food vacuole
Digestion : Digestive juices are secreted by the cell to break the food particle present inside the food vacuole into simple molecules.
Absorption : The simple molecules formed after digestion of food is absorbed in the cytoplasm.The undigested food particles remains in the food vacuole.
Assimilation : Amoeba uses the simple molecules which are formed as a result of digestion
Egestion : The undigested portion of the food stored in the food vacuole is removed from the body by rupturing the cell membrane
