What is the main reason for formation of a food vacuole in Amoeba?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To take in and digest food
Amoeba performs nutrition by engulfing food with temporary extensions called pseudopodia. The captured food becomes enclosed in a food vacuole, where digestive enzymes break it into simpler soluble substances that can be absorbed by the cytoplasm. The vacuole therefore serves both ingestion and intracellular digestion. Option A is correct; the other choices are not functions of a food vacuole and Amoeba does not form blood.
