They arrange their microtubules into two projections that push the membrane into two pseudopodia that surround and engulf their food. A bacterium, for instance. Then the food is absorbed by a process similar to endocytosis.
by frogs or other pond living creatures in the area, it all depends on the habitat
The amoeba proteus can feed upon small organism like ciliates, other amoebae, algae, and rotifers. Rotifers, which are microscopic zooplankton, belong to the phylum Rotifera.
Well lets see. The Amoeba eats Algea, Bacteria, Plant Cells, and aslo other unicellular organisms. cool, right?
on other microscopic animals
They eat things like algae and diatoms.
By osmosis
An amoeba cell eats other unicellular organisms like paramecium, bacteria, and plant cells. Some are even parasitic! Amoeba cells eat by moving its cytoplasm (also called pseudopods) around its prey. The prey is literally inside the amoeba now. The Amoeba forms a vacuole around it and breaks it down for nourishment and absorbs it through its cytoplasm.
I don't know about paramecium but amoebas eat paramecium.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Amoeba are protozoans. They eat algae and other protozoans. Protozoans are eaten by zooplankton in the marine environment.
Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists
By osmosis
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter.

The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.

Amoeba's Feed off of plant life. They eat plant cells, algae, bacteria, and protozoa and metazoa. Some species of Amoeba's are considered to be parasites.
