A one-celled protist that eats other organisms, like an amoeba

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded buffet, trying to pick and choose your favorite dishes while navigating around other hungry guests. This scenario is much like how a protozoan, such as an amoeba, operates in its environment, seeking out and consuming smaller organisms for sustenance. Just as you move through the buffet, selecting and ingesting food items, the amoeba moves through its surroundings, engulfing food particles with its flexible body, demonstrating a similar strategy of survival and nourishment.
