Describe the process of nutrition in …

Nutrition in Amoeba occurs in the following steps for step injection injection is the process in which the food is taking inside the mouth and then it II processes digestion digestion is the process in which the food is transported to the stomach and III process is absorption absorption is the process in which the food is absorbed by the alveoli for protect process assimilation in which the extra food is transmitted and egestion and excretion of the Waste food outside the body is called edition these are the five processes

The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic and various steps involved in the process of nutrition are:

• Ingestion: Amoeba ingests food with the help of its finger-like extensions, called pseudopodia, when a food particle approaches Amoeba it forms pseudopodia around it and forms a food vacuole inside the Amoeba
• Digestion: Various enzymes from the cytoplasm enter into the food vacuole and break them down into simple soluble molecules
• Absorption: The simple soluble food is absorbed by cytoplasm of Amoeba from food vacuoles through the process of diffusion
• Assimilation: Amoeba cell obtains energy from the absorbed food through respiration and this energy is utilized by Amoeba for its growth and repair of the body
• Egestion: When a considerable amount of undigested food gets collected inside Amoeba, its cell membrane ruptures and throws out the undigested food
