Amoeba is carnivorous and its mode of nutrition is

  • A.Holozoic
  • B.Saprophytic
  • C.Symbiotic
  • D.Autotrophic

Answer: A

Amoeba's mode of nutrition is holozoic.

Holozoic nutrition involves taking in solid food and digesting it inside the body. Amoeba engulfs food particles such as bacteria and smaller protists with pseudopodia (phagocytosis), digests them in a food vacuole, absorbs the products and expels the undigested remains.

Saprophytes absorb dissolved food from dead matter, symbiotic nutrition depends on a partner organism, and autotrophs make their own food by photosynthesis, none of which describes Amoeba.
