They arrange their microtubules into two projections that push the membrane into two pseudopodia that surround and engulf their food. A bacterium, for instance. Then the food is absorbed by a process similar to endocytosis.
An amoeba cell eats other unicellular organisms like paramecium, bacteria, and plant cells. Some are even parasitic! Amoeba cells eat by moving its cytoplasm (also called pseudopods) around its prey. The prey is literally inside the amoeba now. The Amoeba forms a vacuole around it and breaks it down for nourishment and absorbs it through its cytoplasm.
Well, the amoeba is a very complicated type of cell life form. An Amoeba does not go through a well planned diet, so they get much larger then other cells. Amoeba's basically eat anything they can find or die trying.
As with all cells, multicellular and unicellular, the nucleus acts as the controller of the cell. In an amoeba, it controlls movement, when to eat, and controlls reproductive abilities.
The species that contains amoeba is the indocalclative species. They are only found in Africa and are extremely hard to come by. They eat away at anything they can touch.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter.

The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.

The Amoeba eats Algea, Bacteria, Plant Cells, and aslo other unicellular organisms
Amoebas eat bacteria and microscopic protozoa for their nutrients. The materials obtained help the amoeba grow, and binary fission lets the amoeba reproduce.
amoebas are alive and able to move and eat
