The amoebae extends two pseudopodia by microtubule extension and surrounds the bacterial prey, then, instead of reeling in the prey, the amoebae drags itself up to the trapped bacteria and then engulfs it by a form of phagocytosis. There the bacteria is digested by many different enzymes designed for the job.

How amoeba obtain its food?
They engulf there food by the process of phagocytosis or picnocytosis. The large food material first broken down by ameoba as it secreate some extracellular enzyme then that food material is taken by amoeaba as amoeba form pseudopodia around the food material and then take it inside the cell.
How does an amoeba obtain its food?
Amoeba obtain its food by the process of endocytosis. It is due to the flexibility of cell membrane as it enables the cell to engulf food and other materials from its external environment. There are four ways in which an amoeba can ingest solid food: 1. Circumvalletion-when the prey is active and motile, e.g. Any smaller protist 2. Circumfluence- when the particle is sessile e.g. Unicellular algae 3. Import- then particle comes into contact with the amoeba and then sinks into it just like in quicksand. 4. Invagination- the amoeba does'nt use it's pseudopodia here, instead it pinches off a portion of it membrane to form a tube like structure which, along with the particle makes a food vacuole.

How does amoeba obtain it food?
Amoeba has flexible cell membrane. It enables amoeba to engulf in food by the process called endocytosis.

Does an amoeba have a choloroplast?
Most amoeba do not have chloroplasts. However, recent studies show that amoeba can obtain choloroplasts from engulfing photosynthetic alga.

How does amoeba engulf solid food particles?
a amoeba engulfs it food by endocytosis
How does food storage and digestion take place in amoeba?
The digestion of food in Amoeba takes place in the food vacuole. :)
How does a amoeba use a food vacuole?
Enzymes move into the vacuole to digest food, and the digested food passes into the amoeba
Can Amoeba make it own food?
Amoeba can not make it own food because it is not autotrophs since it has no chloroplast.
