Answer 1

Explanation:

Feeding and digestion in Amoeba - definition

The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic. The process of obtaining food by Amoeba is called phagocytosis. ... Digestion: The food is digested in the food vacuole with the help of enzymes. Absorption: It is then absorbed in the cytoplasm of the Amoeba by diffusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Amoeba is a unicellular organism. It undergoes intracellular digestion. The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic.

The process of obtaining food by Amoeba is called phagocytosis.

1. Ingestion: When a food particle is near the Amoeba, it forms temporary finger-like projections called pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it.
2. Digestion: The food is digested in the food vacuole with the help of enzymes.
3. Absorption: It is then absorbed in the cytoplasm of the Amoeba by diffusion.
4. Assimilation: The absorbed food provides energy and a part of nutrition is used for growth.
5. Egestion: The undigested and the waste food particles are thrown out.

FEEDING AND DIGESTION IN AMOEBA

1. Amoeba is a microscopic organism which has fingerlike known as pseudopodia.
2. The amoeba extends its pseudopodia around the food and engulfs it.
3. The food is trapped in the food vacuole where it is digested by the digestive enzyme and finally the food is absorbed and distributed all through the body.
