An amoeba typically consumes food equal to its own volume, which can vary depending on its environment and the availability of nutrients. It primarily feeds on smaller organisms like bacteria and algae, engulfing them through a process called phagocytosis. The amount it needs to eat can also depend on factors such as temperature and metabolic activity, but overall, they require a consistent supply of food to sustain their cellular functions.
Well, the amoeba is a very complicated type of cell life form. An Amoeba does not go through a well planned diet, so they get much larger then other cells. Amoeba's basically eat anything they can find or die trying.
An amoeba cell eats other unicellular organisms like paramecium, bacteria, and plant cells. Some are even parasitic! Amoeba cells eat by moving its cytoplasm (also called pseudopods) around its prey. The prey is literally inside the amoeba now. The Amoeba forms a vacuole around it and breaks it down for nourishment and absorbs it through its cytoplasm.
As with all cells, multicellular and unicellular, the nucleus acts as the controller of the cell. In an amoeba, it controlls movement, when to eat, and controlls reproductive abilities.
No, an amoeba doesn't need fertilization to reproduce. An amoeba reproduces asexually.
fooddddddddddddd!
Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists

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.

Amoeba can die if they lack oxygen. They need it.

The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.
