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.
