M- move by flowing of cytoplasm over the surface i.e mud, soil.
- pseudopods - changing the shape of their body.
R-"breathes" using a porous cell membrane (oxygen in - carbon dioxide out)
S- no special sense organs.
- changes in outside world detected by all parts of living material
- limited sensitivity e.g. moves away from light, but it has no photodetectors or eyes
N- food is engulfed by pseudopods (False foot) - forms a food vacuole.
- eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, tiny particles of dead plant / animal matter
E- ingestion and egestion can take place at any point on the surface
- no 'mouth' or 'anus'.
R- a parent cell divides (Nucleus + cytoplasm divide)
= two smaller daughter cells i.e. asexually by binary fission
G- grows from nutrition - digesting food.
