How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

Answer

The flexibility of the cell membrane enables Amoeba to obtain its food through a process known as endocytosis. It uses pseudopodia, temporary extensions of its cell membrane, to surround and engulf its food. The engulfed particles are then enclosed in a food vacuole, where digestion takes place.
