How do amoebas obtain food?

Asked by jhanquet1996

Answer (2)

their cell wall surrounds it and secretes enzymes that encase it into a bubble and brings it into the cell. After other enzymes digest what is needed the process reverses and the bubble is 'spit' out or excreted.

Amoebas obtain food through phagocytosis, where they engulf food particles to form a food vacuole that digests the food. Nutrients are absorbed for energy, and undigested waste is expelled by exocytosis. This process is vital for their nutrition and growth.
