This document discusses nutrition in amoeba and includes 5 objectives about making students aware of how amoeba feeds, its role as a unicellular organism without a definite shape, and the functions of its pseudopodia. It explains that amoeba ingest food like algae, bacteria, and small protozoans using pseudopodia. Digestion occurs in food vacuoles in its cytoplasm using enzymes to break down starch, proteins, and fats. Absorption of simple nutrients occurs into the cytoplasm, while wastes are expelled through the body wall.
