They engulf food particle by phagocytosis. The food vacuoles fuse with lysosomes, and the enzymes digest the food. Undigested material is later remove by exocytosis.
-------------------------------------
They have structures called vacuoles in their cytoplasm.
These are like movable stomachs made of cell wall material..
The food is enclosed, enzymes are secreted within the vacuole.
Nutrients are absorbed through the walls.
Then the vacuole moves to the surface of the cell and the unusable
contents are discarded.

Process that amoebas use to take in food and other materials?
phagocytosis
What forms food vacuoles to digest food particles?
amoebas
How do amoebas digest food?
The amoeba surrounds the food with psuedopods and forms a food vacuole. This vacuole then digests the food with digestive enzymes.
How do phytoplankton amoebas and Giardia lamblia eat?
Phytoplankton eat by photosynthesis, Amoebas use their pseudopodia or "false feet" to sense the food, move towards it, and surround it with its "false feet". This action forms a food vacuole. Enzymes move into the vacuole to digest the food, and the digested food passes into the amoeba. Giardia live in the gut of termites, it digests the cell walls of the wood that the termites eat.
How do the amoeba get their food?
AMOEBAS use pseudopods to get food...
Compare how phytoplankton amoebas and Giardia lamblia get food?
Amoebas use pseudopodia to engulf food, phytoplankton produce their own food, and G. lamblia is a parasite that feeds on a host.
