Certain chemical gradients began to form microtubule sub-units together that extend out on two places on the amoeba's membrane into what are called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia engulf the food and the ameoba pull itself toward the food rather than pulling the pseudopodia into the main body.

What is it called when a bloblike amoeba surrounds a particle of food?

Shmea.


What organism surrounds their prey?

An amoeba surrounds its prey - then absorbs it.


How does amoebas trap food particles and to move?

Amoebas use cytoplasmic streaming to trap food particles and move. Cytoplasmic streaming is caused by microfilament movement in the cytoskeleton of an amoeba. The cytoplasmic streaming allows the amoeba to surround its food particles. The arm like projects that seem to come out of the amoeba are called pseduopodia. When the cytoplasm completely surrounds the food particles it forms a vacuole around them. The pseduopodia also allow the amoeba to move.


How do large particles enter the nucleus?

Endocytosis, particularly, phagocytosis because the amoeba surrounds the food particle and engulfs it. The food particle is then enclosed into a food vacuole inside the cell where it can be accessed when the cell needs food.


How do large food particles enter the amoeba?

The amoeba uses phagocytosis (it surrounds it and brings it into a vesicle).

How do amoebas digest food?

The amoeba surrounds the food with psuedopods and forms a food vacuole. This vacuole then digests the food with digestive enzymes.

When does a amoeba eat?

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.


Which protists surrounds and engulfs its food?

The protist amoeba does. I think this process is called exocytosis.

How does an amoeba get food?

it obtains food , which is that when a high consideration moves to a smaller considerationan amoeba gets food thorugh pseudopods, which form when cytoplams flows toward one location and the rest of the amoeba follows.amoeba obtains food by osmosis, which is that when a high consideration moves to a smaller consideration.


What part of an amoeba helps it capture food?

food vacuole is a small cavity in the cytoplasm that temporarily store food.


What does amoeba eat by?

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. Amoebas reproduce (make more amoebas) by a process called binary fission.
