When an amoeba eats a bacteria, it engulfs the bacteria into its cytoplasm through a process called phagocytosis. The bacteria is then enclosed in a food vacuole and digested by enzymes within the vacuole, providing the amoeba with nutrients for energy and growth. Any waste products from the digestion process are expelled from the cell.
Not intentionally, for when they do - the virus eats them.
Amoeba is not a bacteria. It comes in animal kigdom. It is unicellular organism. Such organisms are called as protozoa. It has no cell wall like bacteria do.
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.
The primary sources of energy for an amoeba are organic matter such as bacteria, algae, and other small organisms that it engulfs through phagocytosis. Once ingested, the amoeba breaks down these organic molecules into nutrients like sugars and amino acids to generate energy through cellular respiration.
They are all microscopic.

Bacteria or amoeba
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.
An Amoeba is a single cell organism
The primary sources of energy for an amoeba are organic matter such as bacteria, algae, and other small organisms that it engulfs through phagocytosis. Once ingested, the amoeba breaks down these organic molecules into nutrients like sugars and amino acids to generate energy through cellular respiration.
A virus is many times smaller than either an amoeba or a bacteria. Perhaps thousands would fit into a bacterial cell.
bacteria does.
