In amoeba, digestion of food takes place inside
(a) Food pipe
(b) Gizzard
(c) Food vacuole
(d) Stomach

Correct Answer: (c) Food vacuole

Explanation:

Amoeba takes their food by endocytosis or phagocytosis. 

In this process, pseudopod is created by the plasma membrane which is a temporary arm-like projection. The pseudopodia fuse over the food particles to form a food-vacuole. Digestive Enzymes in food vacuole break down the food in Amoeba.

In this food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler substances that get diffused into the cytoplasm. The undigested food is thrown out of the cell.
