Beth learned in her science class that white blood cells in the human body capture harmful material by engulfing them. Then they digest them using enzymes, thus protecting the body from infection. Which eukaryote has a similar mode of nutrition?

-Amoeba are unicellular eukaryotic organisms. They feed or take nutrients using the process of pinocytosis and phagocytosis.

The mode of nutrition described above is phagocytosis.
Amooba is a unicellular eukaryotes and it obtains its nutrition using the same method. Amoeba feeds on microscopic organisms, which it engulfs, secretes into its food vacuole and digest.
