Once the waste has reached the edge of its cytoplasmic body it opens up the cytoplasm (pseudopodia) to release the waste outside the cytoplasmic body.

This is not by me but by a website named Fun Science. Amoeba is a unicellular organism found in fresh water. In amoeba carbon dioxide and ammonia are the main waster materials. These waste materials are excreted out by the process of diffusion through general body surface. In amoeba, contractile vacuoles also play some role in the removal of waste materials. The waste materials present in the cytoplasm of amoeba enters the contractile vacuole. Then the contractile vacuole moves close to the plasma membrane, come in contact with plasma membrane and burst to release its contents in the surrounding.

I found this on a website called fun science. So i give thanks to that website. "Amoeba is a unicellular organism found in fresh water.

Amoebas excrete via their contractile vacuoles. This is a type of cavity that allows the amoeba to expel both waste and unneeded water.
