Nellimoodu Name of Student : Deeparaj R V Option : Natural Science Register Number : 181/13376009 TOPIC : NUTRITION IN AMOEBA STANDARD : IX SUBJECT : BOLOGY Amoeba is an unicellular Fresh Water Protozoan It gathers its food with the help of pseudopodia. Digestion takes place inside the food vacuole present in the cytoplasm. Algae, Bacteria, and small protozoa are its main food. The process of digestion in Amoeba is intracellular. Amoeba encircle the food particle using false foot or Pseudopodia After that food vacuole formed and combines with Lysosome. The food vacuole contains enzymes that can digest Carbohydrate, lipids and proteins. Enzyme present in the lysosome digest the food and then Absorption and Assimilation takes place. The nutrients are absorbed into the Cytoplasm Surrounding the food vacuole. After these process waste materials are excreted out. THANK YOU
