How does a ameoba?
Its called phagocytosis. Two extensions of the membrane called pseudopods surround the object to be engulfed. It then becomes a vesicle inside the cell which can be digested by lysosomes.

What is a food vacuole?
A membrane-bound vacuole (as in an ameba) where ingested food is digested.
What do lysosomes do?
Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed strucutres (organelles) in cells that contain digestive enzymes. Damaged components from the cell or food particles engulfed by the cell are delivered to the lysosomes, where they are digested into fundamental building components such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids to be used by the cell. They also help make proteins for the cel.
