Answer:

The answer is A) Phagocytosis.

Explanation:

An amoeba usually gets its nutrients from engulfing large food particles by the process of phagocytosis.

  1. As an amoeba approaches the desired food particle, it <u>extends it pseudopods</u> around it, eventually <em>surrounding the food </em>and internalizing it.
  2. The food then becomes enclosed by the pseudopodia, creating a <u>food vacuole</u>.
  3. Digestive enzymes, such as <u>lysosomes</u>, will <u>fuse with the food vacuole</u> and start breaking down the food. The nutrients will then be diffused throughout the cytoplasm.
