In amoeba, the food is taken by the ____________________.

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (A) entire body surface area

Explanation:

• Amoeba is a unicellular organism that takes in food through a process called phagocytosis.
• The Amoeba uses its flexible cell membrane to engulf food particles by extending finger-like projections called pseudopodia.
• The food is then enclosed in a food vacuole, where enzymes digest it.

Key Points:

• Amoeba does not have a mouth or specialized structures like cilia or flagella for food intake.
• It relies on its entire body surface area to interact with the environment and capture food.
