"Amoebas lack an organ-based digestive system, instead they engulf their food via phagocytosis to create a food vacuole within the cell Digestive enzymes are typically produced in the lysosomes which fuse with the food vacuole to create an endosome. Here the food is digested and the wastes are escreted via exocytosis."
