How the amoeba uses it pseudopods?
Pseudopods serve two important functions-locomotion and food capture, activities that are often interrelated. Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat).The streaming of protoplasm inside the pseudopods moves the amoeba forward. When the organism contacts a food particle, the pseudopods surround the particle. After the food is corralled by the amoeba, an opening in the membrane allows the food particle to pass into the cell. Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.
How does amoeba engulf solid food particles?
a amoeba engulfs it food by endocytosis
Can Amoeba make it own food?
Amoeba can not make it own food because it is not autotrophs since it has no chloroplast.
What does the Food Vacuole do in the Amoeba Cell?
The food vacuole is formed by the outer membrane of the amoeba after phagocytosis, digestive enzymes then enter the food vacuole which digest the food that was recently taken in by pseudopods.
What protist changes shape constantly and flows around its food to engulf it?
Amoeba

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

How do the amoeba get their food?
AMOEBAS use pseudopods to get food...
How does amoeba obtain it food?
Amoeba has flexible cell membrane. It enables amoeba to engulf in food by the process called endocytosis.
What protist changes shape constantly and flows around its food to engulf it?
Amoeba
How does amoeba eat food?

Where is the food after the amoeba engulfs it?
Hamburger
What stores food in amoeba?
vacuoles
