The process through which an amoeba acquires food from its external environment called phagocytosis

Amoebas acquire food through a process called phagocytosis, where they engulf food particles using their cell membrane. The process involves forming a food vacuole, digesting the food with enzymes from lysosomes, absorbing nutrients, and expelling waste. This mechanism is crucial for their survival and nutrient recycling in ecosystems.
