The mode of nutrition in amoeba is holozoic. The process of obtaining food is called phagocytosis. Amoeba feeds on microscopic organisms floating on water. The nutrition involves processes like ingestion, digestion, assimilation and egestion.

What is binary fusion and Describe it?
The process by which one cell splits into 2 cells is called binary fission its a type of asexual reproduction which takes place in amoeba.
How do large food particles enter the amoeba?
The amoeba uses phagocytosis (it surrounds it and brings it into a vesicle).
What is oxygen needed for in the amoeba?
The amoebae is an eukaryote, so it uses oxygen for the same reason you do. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the process of oxidative phosphorylation that takes place in the mitochondria.
How does the amoeba digest its food?
Ameoba extends pseudopodia around the food particle until they join, enclosing the particle in a membrane-bound vesicle. A lysosome merges with the new food vacuole, dumping its enzymes in to digest the food. The products of digestion are then absorbed through the membrane.
How ingestion takes in amoeba?
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 doe amoeba takes in its food?
envagination or phagocytosis
How does food storage and digestion take place in amoeba?
The digestion of food in Amoeba takes place in the food vacuole. :)

How do amoba eat?
Amoeba surrounds completely its prey with ithe projections of the protoplast , that are called pseudopodia. and along with some water, it takes in the prey within its cell. The process is called phagocytosis.
Cyst formation in amoeba takes place duringwhich fission?
multiple fission

How does osmosis and diffusion work in amoeba?
Amoeba obtains oxygen via diffusion; it takes in water by osmosis, but I would think this is more of a problem, since Amoeba lives in a freshwater environment, and water is always entering by osmosis. Amoeba's problem is getting rid of that water, which it does by means of contractile vacuoles.
Where does respiration take place in amoeba?
The entire surface of the amoeba is its respiratory surface. It is always wet because the amoeba lives in water, and oxygen continually diffuses in and carbon dioxide continually diffuses out.
