What is an amoeba-?

An amoeba is a unicellular, genderless organism that belongs to the Protista kingdom & can reproduce through asexual reproduction. Amoeba are the unicellular, microscopic organism which moves by the help of pseudopodia (false foot)


How do unicellular move?

Unicellular organisms move in a variety of ways. Paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hairs that act like oars and propel the organism along. Bacteria move by rotating a flagellum that looks a bit like oars and propel the organism These organisms "swim" along. An amoeba moves by changing shape and forcing its cytoplasm into extensions called pseudopods. - s delacruz


In what ways are euglena different then paramecium and amoeba?

The most obvious difference between an amoeba and a paramecium or euglena is that the amoeba has no overall shape, and the entire cell changes its shape as the amoeba moves. The paramecium and the euglena both have definite shapes which they do not alter. The amoeba can engulf food particles at any point on its own cell membrane, but the paramedium has an oral groove which is where it ingests food particles. And the euglena also has a chloroplast, unlike the other two (or any other protozoan).
