Explain the process of nutrition in Amoeba.

Explanation

Amoeba is a unicellular animals which follows holozoic mode of nutrition . The process of obtaining good by Amoeba is called phagocytosis .
The various steps involved in phagocytorsis.
(i) Ingestion Amoeba ingasts food particle by forming temporary finger like projections called pseudopodia around it . The food is engulfed forming a food vacuole.
(ii) Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones by digestive enzymes.
(iii) Absorption The digested food present food present in the food vacuole diffuse into the cytoplasm . After this, the food vacuole disappears.
(iv) Assmilation Food absorbed is used by Amoeba for various processes.
(v) Egestion The remaining undigested material moves to the surface of the cell, the cell membrance ruptures at any place and undigested food is thrown out the body.
