They take food through endocytosis.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
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.
Characteristics that make amoeba and paramecium animal-like include locomotion and lack of photosynthesis.
What is endocytosis? It is the absorbing of outside materials into the cell by folding inward the cell membrane. Using that fact, endocytosis clearly can't occur in a plant cell because of the cell wall.
there are also paramecium and amoeba and protizonenes
Any living things is called an organissm.
Amoeba is an animal-like, one-celled organism.
irritability of amoeba is the stimulus that come during the amoeba moves. its like a virus to the amoeba like some viruses come to us. but they die after a few days. SEND BACK IF I HELPED!!!! :)
The tail-like structure in amoeba is called a pseudopod. Pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane that help the amoeba move by shifting its shape and allowing it to "crawl" along surfaces. This movement helps the amoeba to find food and navigate its environment.

Endocytosis is like a cell engulfing a molecule or particle in a vesicle, similar to how a person might "swallow" a piece of fruit or food. The cell surrounds and takes in the substance, much like how we take in nutrients through eating.
Because an amoeba has a nucleus, just like the other animals.

Like an amoeba
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.
