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.

What uses pseudopod to move through their environment and obtain food?
An amoeba
Which type of cellular process will most likely be used by an amoeba in order to obtain food?
An amoeba primarily uses a process called phagocytosis to obtain food. This involves the amoeba extending its cell membrane to engulf food particles, such as bacteria or other microorganisms, forming a food vacuole. The vacuole then fuses with lysosomes, where enzymes break down the food for digestion. This method allows the amoeba to absorb nutrients efficiently from its environment.
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 do amoeba get their food?
The amoeba moves its psuedopodia (false feet) around the food particle. thus a food vacuole is formed.then the amoeba secretes digestive enzymes into the food vacuole and the food particle is digested and assimilated.the waste particle is thrown out by moving the particle towards the surface of the body and it is excreted. :)
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 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 movement of paramecium compare to that of amoeba?

What is the function of a digestive vacuole in amoeba?
A digestive vacuole in an amoeba functions to break down and digest food particles that have been engulfed by the cell. This process helps the amoeba obtain nutrients for energy and growth. Once digestion is complete, waste material is expelled from the cell.
How does food storage and digestion take place in amoeba?
The digestion of food in Amoeba takes place in the food vacuole. :)
Can Amoeba make it own food?
No, amoebas cannot make their own food through photosynthesis like plants can. Instead, they obtain nutrients by engulfing and absorbing small particles and organic matter from their environment through a process called phagocytosis.
