Amoeba acquires its food through a process, termed

(a) exocytosis

(b) endocytosis

(c) plasmolysis

(d) exocytosis and endocytosis both

Answers (3)

Answer : (b)

Amoeba obtains its food through the process of phagocytosis. It is a common way of feeding in protozoans. The amoeba’s plasma membrane forms a pocket around the food material and engulfs the solid material, forming a food vacuole in cytoplasm. The contents are digested by lysosomes which contain digestive enzymes.

Exocytosis is a form of active transport and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecule out of the cell by secreting them through an energy-dependent process.

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell.

Therefore, option (b) is correct.
