Some amoebae are predatory and live by consuming bacteria and other [[protist]]s. Some are [[detritivore]]s and eat dead organic material. Amoebae typically ingest ~~their~~there food by [[phagocytosis]], extending pseudopods to encircle and ~~engulf~~engolf live prey or particles of scavenged material. Amoeboid cells do not have a mouth or [[cytostome]], and there is no fixed place on the cell at which phagocytosis normally occurs.<ref>Thorp, James H. (2001).
