Amoeba shows holozoic nutrition which Is comprised of the following steps: Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption. Assimilation and Egestion
Ingestion : Amoeba makes fingerlike projections called pseudopodia. Amoeba traps food particles with the help of pseudopodia. After that, Amoeba takes in the food particle along with water.
Digestion : Amoeba makes food vacuole after ingesting the food particle. Enzymes are released in the food vacuole for digestion.
Absorption : After digestion, nutrients enter the cytoplasm through osmosis.
Assimilation : Nutrients are utilized by the cell for various purposes.
Egestion : Food vacuole goes near the cell membrane to empty its contents outside the cell. This results in the expulsion of waste materials from the cell.
