Amoeba can not make it own food because it is not autotrophs since it has no chloroplast.
An amoeba and a Volvox are two examples of protists. The amoeba is heterotrophic (does not make its own food), and the Volvox is autotrophic (makes its own food through photosynthesis).
Amoeba is a heterotroph i.e they absorb their food directly from the external environment. Some are parasites. Amoeba eat algae, bacteria, plant cells and also protozoans.Amoebas engulf their food. They are heterotrophs. They cannot make their own food.
An amoeba feeds by engulfing food particles through a process called phagocytosis. It surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane to form a food vacuole, which then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food. The nutrients are then absorbed into the cytoplasm for energy and growth.
Food is stored in food vacuoles within an amoeba. When an amoeba engulfs food particles through phagocytosis, the food vacuole forms around the ingested material. Enzymes then break down the food inside the vacuole for digestion.
Amoeba digests its food primarily in the food vacuole. When the Amoeba engulfs its prey through a process called phagocytosis, the prey is enclosed in a food vacuole where enzymes break down the food into simpler substances. These nutrients are then absorbed into the cytoplasm for the Amoeba to use. The waste products are eventually expelled from the cell.
An amoeba (as just one example!).
Yes, the amoeba cell is a consumer. It is a consumer because it dose not produce its own food.
Nope! An amoeba is animal-like because it is a heterotroph, meaning it has to find its own food source.
No they do not. They "eat" through a process known as phagocytosis.
If an amoeba can create its own fuel using a process like photosynthesis, then yes. If it has to scavenge for its food, like herbivores, then it is a heterotroph.

The digestion of food in Amoeba takes place in the food vacuole. :)
