it extends its pseudopodia to envelop the meal. In the process, it engulfs the food, creating what is known as a food vacuole, a bag-like structure. Phagocytosis is the scientific term for this process. If you eat more than your body needs, the extra food is stored as glycogen and lipids

Step-by-step explanation:

Feeding And Digestion In Amoeba

Initially, it pushes out its pseudopodia so that it can encircle the food. After this, it engulfs the food, thus forming a bag-like structure called food vacuole. The process is known as “phagocytosis”. ... Well, the excess food gets stored in the form of glycogen as well as lipids.
