An amoeba,a protozoan that moves by pseudopodia,approaches a smaller protozoan and extends its pseudopodia (extensions of cytoplasm in plasma membrane) around the smaller protozoan.Once the amoeba's pseudopodia completely surrounds the other protozoan,the amoeba's plasma membrane pinches off by folding back into the amoeba and creating a vesicle containing the smaller protozoan.This vesicle is now within the amoeba itself and will soon fuse with other vesicles containing digestive enzymes.This is an example of
