How does the amoeba obtain energy?

Answer 1

An amoeba gets energy in the same way that you do - from its food.

An amoeba feeds by sending out 'bulges' of its cytoplasm, called pseudopodia, to surround a small food particle eg a smaller protozoan or an alga. The food, together with a small drop of the water is taken into the cell to become a food vacuole. Enzymes are then added to the food vacuole to digest the food. The soluble products of digestion are taken into the cytoplasm and used for respiration or growth.

The release of energy from food is called respiration. Usually, the sugar called glucose is used by cells

Answer 2

Amoebas obtain energy through a process called phagocytosis, where they engulf and digest food particles like bacteria and algae. Once the food is absorbed into the amoeba's cell, it goes through intracellular digestion to release energy for the cell's metabolic processes.

Answer 3

I dont no...I was trying to find an answer for this for my project but I cant find the answer anywhere

Answer 4

it gets its energy from eating food particles

Answer 5

The amoeba finds tiny particles of organic matter, and eats them. All animals get energy in essentially the same way, by eating food. The food can then be used as fuel for the metabolism.
