They get their food from the surrounding environment, during feeding the process the amoeba produces long extensions of its body known as Pseudo pods around the food until it is completely surrounded. This creates a food is then digested by special molecules called Enzymes that break down the food into much smaller particles that the amoeba can use as energy for movement.

What produces oxygen other than plants?
Algae, protists, phytoplankton and bacteria.
How are protists related to other eukaryotes?
Protists are eukaryotes that do not belong to plant, animal or fungi species. The way in which protists are related to other eukaryotes stems from the fact that among the current protists include groups whose ancestors were the reason why plants, animals and fungi exist today.
What characteristics separate protists from the other kingdoms?
Protists have characteristics such as being eukaryotic, are both photosynthetic and heterotrophic species and are single-celled. Some are plant-like while others are animal-like but they all fall under kingdom Protista.
What are some differences between animal-like protists and plant-like protists?
The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are mostlyunicellular.Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.
What organelle is analogous to stomach in a stentor and other protists?
appendix
What do protist eat?
The protists that are like animals feed on other protozoa, amoebas, and algae.
Heretotrophic protists are otherwise known as?
Zooprotists, or animal-like protists. They feed on other living things.
What characteristic distinguishes plant like protists from other protists?
animal like protist feed off of other organisms plants a absorb suns energy to make its own food
How do plantlike protist affect other living things?
One way plant like protists affect other living things is they provide oxygen in the air. They are also part of the food chain, which helps feed other aquatic animals and plants.
Do protist only make their own food?
No. Flagellates use their flagella to filter feed. Other protists can engulf food and digest it internally.
All members of this kingdom make their own food or feed on other living things?
All members of the Protista Kingdom make their own food or feed on other living things. All protists are eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
Is protists abiotic or biotic?
Protists are alive, or in other words, biotic
Do protists cells have a nucleus?
Yes they do. Some protists have other organelles that other protists may be lacking but they all still have nuclei.
How are protists and plant and different?
Protists are distinguished from other eukaryotes by their simplicity. Protists have much simpler cells.
Why are slime molds called fungi-like protists?
they feed off of something else
Is an amoeba a herbivore?
Amoeba do not strictly feed on algae and plant matter, but also eat bacteria and protists which themselves consume other bacteria, so I would say no.
Is protista autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
