Amoebas ingest food by phagocytosis, surrounding the food and then bringing it inside in a vesicle. The amoebas then digest the food by fusing a lysosome to the food vesicle. The lysosome then breaks down everything in the vesicle to its basic parts.

The process by which an amoeba eats food is known as phagocytosis. This is a process that entails engulfing of food.

Phagocytosis.


How do large particles enter the nucleus?

Endocytosis, particularly, phagocytosis because the amoeba surrounds the food particle and engulfs it. The food particle is then enclosed into a food vacuole inside the cell where it can be accessed when the cell needs food.

What does the Food Vacuole do in the Amoeba Cell?

The food vacuole is formed by the outer membrane of the amoeba after phagocytosis, digestive enzymes then enter the food vacuole which digest the food that was recently taken in by pseudopods.


How do large food particles exit an amoeba?

Amoeba ingests food by a process known as phagocytosis. The amoeba modifies its cytoskeleton to 'wrap around' the food particle with its membranes. The membrane then fuses, trapping the food particle in a vacuole inside the cell. The vacuole is then fused with a lysosome and the lysosomal enzymes will break down the food particle.

How does amoebas trap food particles and to move?

Amoebas use cytoplasmic streaming to trap food particles and move. Cytoplasmic streaming is caused by microfilament movement in the cytoskeleton of an amoeba. The cytoplasmic streaming allows the amoeba to surround its food particles. The arm like projects that seem to come out of the amoeba are called pseduopodia. When the cytoplasm completely surrounds the food particles it forms a vacuole around them. The pseduopodia also allow the amoeba to move.
