Dear student,
Please find below the answer:
Please find below the answer:
Amoeba consumes food with the help of pseudopodia. Pseudopodia are temporary finger-like projections of the cell surface, which fuse over the food particle. This results in the formation of a food vacuole.
Pseudopodia help in movement and in ingesting nutrients. It is also present in slime moulds during their amoeboid stage.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
