<span>Sheree observed an amoeba feeding by engulfing the prey with its false feet or pseudopods. This process is known as phagocytosis.
The term comes from Greek and means: <em>phagein = to devour, kytos = cell, -osis = process, </em>so it literally means that it refers to a process in which a certain type of a cell (in this case, an amoeba) devours or eats another thing.

What is the life cycle of a parasite in stages ?<br> Please help me thank you
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. Explanation: The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism, trophically transmitted parasitism, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation.
