The ameoba has a body part called the "pseuodopod" (pronounced sudopod). Which it uses to move and eat with as well. It extends the "pseuodopod" around it's food then pulls it towards the rest of the body to be digested. It does that same thing to move except ulling it self along. The things that amoebas eat vary from algae and bacteria or other protozoa and dead plants or animal matter.

What process does an amoeba use to drink?

Amoeba obtains its nutrition in a heterotrophic mode. Both the anabolic and catabolic functions are carried out in the same cell. Amoeba feeds on plankton and diatoms present in water. It can form arm- like structures called pseudopodia, extending from any part of its body as it is shapeless. When it senses food in its surroundings it extends its pseudopodia in that direction and moves towards it. then it engulfs the food with its pseudopodia. When the food enters its body the amoeba forms a food vacuole around it which contains certain enzymes to digest the food. When the food is digested the unwanted waste is released through its body surface.


Where does amoeba obtain its food?

The amoeba in Figure 15 belongs to the group of protozoans called sarcodines. Sarcodines move and feed by forming pseudopods (soo duh pahdz)---temporary bulges of the cell. The word pseudopod means "false foot." Pseudopods form when cytoplasm flows toward one location and the rest of the organism follows. Pseudopods enable sarcodines to move. For example, amoebas use pseudopods to move away from bright light. Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food. The organism extends a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods then join together, trapping the particle inside. FROM SCIENCE EXPLORER 2009 LIFE SCIENCE BOOK
