How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

Explanation

Amoeba acquires its food through endocytosis. Endocytosis refers to invagination of a small region of the plasma membrane and ultimately forming an intra-cellular membrane bound vesicle. This process is generally involved in the ingestion of food material. Intake of liquid food using endocytosis is called pinocytosis or cell drinking. Similarly, intake of solid partkles by a cell through its membrane is called phagocytosis or cell eating. In this process, cell membrane puts up protoplasmic processes around the food particle. The processes, fuse to form phagosome
