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.

ā 9y agoThe amoeba is a single celled organism. It obtains food by stretching out a part of its body called the pseudopod, with which it surrounds the food and pulls it back into the rest of the body.

How amoeba obtain its food?
They engulf there food by the process of phagocytosis or picnocytosis. The large food material first broken down by ameoba as it secreate some extracellular enzyme then that food material is taken by amoeaba as amoeba form pseudopodia around the food material and then take it inside the cell.
How does an amoeba obtain its food?
Amoeba obtain its food by the process of endocytosis. It is due to the flexibility of cell membrane as it enables the cell to engulf food and other materials from its external environment. There are four ways in which an amoeba can ingest solid food: 1. Circumvalletion-when the prey is active and motile, e.g. Any smaller protist 2. Circumfluence- when the particle is sessile e.g. Unicellular algae 3. Import- then particle comes into contact with the amoeba and then sinks into it just like in quicksand. 4. Invagination- the amoeba does'nt use it's pseudopodia here, instead it pinches off a portion of it membrane to form a tube like structure which, along with the particle makes a food vacuole.

How does amoeba obtain it food?
Amoeba has flexible cell membrane. It enables amoeba to engulf in food by the process called endocytosis.
How does the amoeba obtain food?
They surround the food and engulf it. If you push a cherry into jello, that would be somewhat like it.

Does an amoeba have a choloroplast?
Most amoeba do not have chloroplasts. However, recent studies show that amoeba can obtain choloroplasts from engulfing photosynthetic alga.

How does amoeba engulf solid food particles?
a amoeba engulfs it food by endocytosis
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
Can Amoeba make it own food?
Amoeba can not make it own food because it is not autotrophs since it has no chloroplast.
