How Amoeba Acquires its Food through the Process of Phagocytosis
Amoeba, a single-celled organism, acquires its food through the process of phagocytosis. During this process Amoeba uses pseudopodia to engulf its prey and forms a membrane-bound phagosome which fuses with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome. The prey is then digested. Factors such as temperature, pH and food availability affect the efficiency of phagocytosis in amoeba.
