Excytosis is when a cell "throws up" something. So if the amoeba has endocytosed something and digested it the next step would be to get rid of the waste parts by causing the vesscle (think of a balloon full of the waste) to dock with the cell membrane and eject the waste into the environment

Amoeba is a single celled organism. So it does not have any special organ for intake of food. It extends its cell membrane to form pseudopodia and captures the food. This forms a food vacuole.Digestive enzymes are secreted to digest the food. The waste thus formed has to be excreted. This also happens in the simmilar manner. The cell membrane contracts and the food is ejected out.
