According to your question, amoeba is a unicellular organism and it functions as a very important member or food chain as a scavenger but in context of mode of nutrition you can define it as holozoic as you have another answer so you can relate.

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
