Q

how does amoeba obtain nutition?

A
  1. Amoeba sp. moves towards food by
    extending its pseudopodium to trap food
    particles by phagocytosis.
  2. The food vacuole is combined with lysosome. The food particles are hydrolysed by the enzyme lysozyme in the lysosomes.
  3. The nutrients are absorbed into the
    cytoplasm.
  4. Undigested food is discharged when the
    Amoeba sp. moves. Undigested food in the
    Paramecium sp. is discharged through the
    anus.
