Best Answer

Food vacuoles are formed when amoebas or any other cells engulf food elements, particles or molecules that it needs by the process known as phagocytosis. The hydrophillic end of the plasma membrane's molecules surround the food particle forming a bubble around it. A vacuole is not an organelle, therefore.

The term vacuoles refers to a pocket that is in the cell that stores food. All human cells and plant cells have vacuoles, but only some animals cells have them.
