73. Explain the process of nutrition in Amoeba.

Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, and Egestion are all part of Amoeba’s holozoic diet.

Ingestion:

Ameoba captures food particles with pseudopodia, which are fingerlike extensions. Pseudopodia is found on the outside of the animal’s body and aids in the intake of food and water.

Digestion:

Food vacuoles form after the food has been consumed. For digestion, enzymes are released in the food vacuole.

Absorption:

Osmosis allows nutrients to reach the cytoplasm after digestion.

Assimilation:

The cell uses nutrients for a variety of functions.

Egestion:

To dump its contents outside the cell, the food vacuole moves close to the cell membrane. As a result, waste materials are ejected from the cell.
