Amoebas are protists that use pseudopods to surround and engulf their food through a process called phagocytosis. The pseudopods extend to capture the food particle and then enclose it within a food vacuole for digestion.
Amoebas rely on phagocytosis to engulf food particles by changing the shape of their cytoplasm to form pseudopods. They also use this ability to move by extending and retracting their pseudopods in a process called amoeboid movement.
Planarians eat by extending their muscular pharynx out of their mouths to engulf and ingest their prey, such as small invertebrates or organic debris. Their pharynx is able to secrete enzymes to help break down the food for digestion.
Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that have a unique feeding mechanism. They can either be photoautotrophic, using photosynthesis to produce food from sunlight, or heterotrophic, feeding on other organisms. Some dinoflagellates can also engulf their prey or absorb nutrients directly from their environment.
Amoebas take in water and food particles through a process called phagocytosis. They use their pseudopods to surround and engulf the particles, forming a food vacuole that eventually merges with lysosomes for digestion.
A sarcodine like amoeba get food by extending pseudopods on each side of the food. They join together to trap the food inside.
surrounding the food with pseudopodia
Sarcodines, such as amoebas, obtain food through phagocytosis. They use their pseudopods to surround and engulf food particles or other organisms. Once surrounded, the food is taken into a food vacuole for digestion.
By the process of phagocytosis. They use pseudopodia to engulf
Amoeba has flexible cell membrane. It enables amoeba to engulf in food by the process called endocytosis.
They engulf their food. The amoeba's body wraps around the food and it is ingested, then digested.
Engulf: transitive verb 1 : to flow over and enclose : OVERWHELM <the mounting seas threatened to engulf the island> 2 : to take in (food) by or as if by flowing over and enclosing something that surrounds you as if to cover you up
if you eat it you will be dead or have something that will be bad for you
They surround the food and engulf it. If you push a cherry into jello, that would be somewhat like it.
Amoebas use pseudopods, which are temporary extensions of their cell membrane, to surround and engulf solid food particles. Once the food particle is completely enclosed within the pseudopod, it forms a food vacuole where digestion takes place.
