How does endocytosis help an organissm like amoeba?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Endocytosis helps an organism like amoeba by allowing it to ingest food particles and other substances from the external environment. Amoebas use a process called phagocytosis to surround and engulf these particles into a membrane-bound vesicle called a food vacuole. The content of the food vacuole is then digested to provide nutrients and energy for the amoeba's survival and growth.
