Answer» When it sensesfoodin its surroundings it extends its pseudopodia in that direction and moves towards it. Then it engulfs thefoodwith its pseudopodia. When thefoodenters its body theamoebaforms afoodvacuole around it which contains certain enzymes to digest thefood. amoeba senses food and starts moving towards it and engulfs the food through pseudopodia I.e. false feet and the the food moves to food vacuole for further digestion ,after this the remaining food gets ejected out from the body through pseudopodia. Amoeba takes in food using temporary finger like extensions of the cell which fuse over food particle to form a food vacuole. Inside the food vacuole the complex substances are broken down into simpler ones before use which then diffuse into the cytoplasm. The remaining undigested food is moved to the surface of the cell and throw out by egestion. Amoebaobtains itsfoodby the process of endocytosis. ... It engulfs thefoodparticle with the help of pseudopodia and then forms a vacuole around it. When the particleiscompletely trapped theamoebasecretes digestive enzymes that digests thefood. thus theamoebaobtains it'sfood. |
