active transport
Amoeba gets the food through the process of endocytosis.it can engulf the food particle from every side of its body(cell) surface by making psuedopodia when it comes in contact with the food particle.
Active transport
An amoeba ingests large food particles by the process of endocytosis.
Phagocytosis.
The amoeba uses phagocytosis (it surrounds it and brings it into a vesicle).
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.
a amoeba engulfs it food by endocytosis
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.
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.
larger particles get into a cell using endocytosis/phagocytosis
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.

i am not exactly sure but an amoeba eats food particles
