Notes
Nutrition in Amoeba
-
Amoeba is a unicellular animal which follows the holozoic mode of nutrition.
-
In holozoic nutrition, the digestion of food follows after the ingestion of food. Thus, digestion takes place inside the body of the organism.
-
Holozoic nutrition happens in five steps, viz. ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.
Steps of Holozoic Nutrition:
-
Ingestion: The process of taking in the food is called ingestion.
-
Digestion: The process of breaking complex food substances into simple molecules is called digestion. Simple molecules, thus obtained, can be absorbed by the body.
-
Absorption: The process of absorption of digested food is called absorption.
-
Assimilation: The process of utilization of digested food, for energy and for growth and repair is called assimilation.
-
Egestion: The process of removing undigested food from the body is called egestion
