Here's the amoeba, then you do the others.
a. Surrounds the food particle with its pseudopodia, and engulfs the food in a food vacuole
b. Digests the food while it is in the food vacuole using enzymes
c. Absorbs the digested food from the food vacuole
d. Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment by diffusion through the cell membrane
e. Pushes undigested matter out of the cell by exocytosis - kind of the opposite of how it gets the food vacuole in the first place; and excretes cellular wastes by diffusion
f. Moves very slowly by pseudopodia, changing cytoplasm to a sol (liquid-like form) and allowing the cytoplasm to flow in the direction the amoeba wants to go. Pseudopodia are slow-moving lobes of cytoplasm covered by the plasma membrane.
g. Reproduces by dividing in two
h. Sensitive to pH because it indicates the presence of food in the water.
