= > Amoeba is an unicellular, omnivore organism that does not possess specialised organs for the process of nutrition. The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic and takes place with the help of pseudopodia (finger-like extensions).
= > Holozoic nutrition : Herbivores (plant-eaters), carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (both plant and meat-eaters) possess the holozoic mode of nutrition. Complex food molecules are taken in and then broken down into simpler and soluble molecules in this type of nutrition.
