Which part of the body of amoeba is used for getting food?

Cell Membrane The amoeba uses its cell membrane to form an arm-like structure (pseudopodia) to encircle food with its "arms" and engulfs it. Check the videos on youtube!

When an amoeba engulfs a particle of food what is formed?

Two pseudopodia are extended with microtubular action and surround the food particle. Instead of reeling the particle in the amoeba pulls itself up to the particle and then it is ingested through the cellular membrane.

when amoeba comes in touch in a food particle it spreads it's cup shaped pseudopodia around the food particle and engulfs it to it's cytoplasm


How does the amoeba obtain its food?

The amoebae extends two pseudopodia by microtubule extension and surrounds the bacterial prey, then, instead of reeling in the prey, the amoebae drags itself up to the trapped bacteria and then engulfs it by a form of phagocytosis. There the bacteria is digested by many different enzymes designed for the job.
