1.	how does nutrition occurs in ameoba
Answer» Nutrition in amoeba is called PHAGOCYTOSIS.It,when finds the presence of food near,captures the food by extending its temporary finger like projections called PSEUDOPODIA.It then engulfs this food and form a food vacuole around the food particle from which the essential nutrients are taken into the cytoplasm.The waste food is then eliminated out of its body using pseudopodia extension.Hope this helps:) The type of nutrition in amoeba is holozoic nutrition.As it is a unicellular organism it has no mouth for the intake of food.Instead it has false feet like structures called pseudopodia which engulfs the food particle completely in a food vacoule.The cytoplasm then secretes certain enzymes which digests the food particle and the energy obtained is assimilated by the cell.The undigested waste is expelled out.
