The amoeba surrounds the food with psuedopods and forms a food vacuole. This vacuole then digests the food with digestive enzymes.
amoebas
Amoebas use their cell membrane to enclose food particles during a process called phagocytosis. This allows them to engulf and digest food particles.
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter. Amoebas reproduce (make more amoebas) by a process called binary fission.
Phytoplankton eat by photosynthesis, Amoebas use their pseudopodia or "false feet" to sense the food, move towards it, and surround it with its "false feet". This action forms a food vacuole. Enzymes move into the vacuole to digest the food, and the digested food passes into the amoeba. Giardia live in the gut of termites, it digests the cell walls of the wood that the termites eat.
AMOEBAS use pseudopods to get food...
Amoebas are single-celled organisms that use pseudopods to move and capture food. These pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that help them to engulf and digest their prey.
They engulf food particle by phagocytosis. The food vacuoles fuse with lysosomes, and the enzymes digest the food. Undigested material is later remove by exocytosis. ------------------------------------- They have structures called vacuoles in their cytoplasm. These are like movable stomachs made of cell wall material.. The food is enclosed, enzymes are secreted within the vacuole. Nutrients are absorbed through the walls. Then the vacuole moves to the surface of the cell and the unusable contents are discarded.
Yes, they can digest food.
Yes they do digest food.
Amoebas use pseudopodia to engulf food, phytoplankton produce their own food, and G. lamblia is a parasite that feeds on a host.
Yes, snails do digest their food.
no it cant digest its own food
