How do pelomyxa eat?

Pelomyxa, a type of amoeba, primarily consumes food through phagocytosis. They engulf their prey, which typically includes bacteria and other small organic particles, by extending their pseudopodia to surround and enclose the food item. Once engulfed, the food is contained in a food vacuole where it is digested by enzymes. This process allows Pelomyxa to absorb the nutrients directly into their cytoplasm.
