No, Amoebae is not bacteria.
neither. its a protist
yes bacteria is a single celled organisms.
Some amoebae are predatory and live by consuming bacteria and other protists. Some are detritivores and eat dead organic material.

Some amoebae can cause serious illness if they get into the human body.
plantsAmoebas eat bacteria, algae and other protozoa.
I can positively identify sixteen types of amoebae on this specimen plate.
Yes
The amoebae extends two pseudopodia by microtubule extension and surrounds the bacterial prey, then, instead of reeling in the prey, the amoebae drags itself up to the trapped bacteria and then engulfs it by a form of phagocytosis. There the bacteria is digested by many different enzymes designed for the job.
A major problem for amoebae living in fresh water is the risk of osmotic pressure imbalance. Freshwater environments have lower solute concentrations than the amoebae's internal fluids, leading to water influx into their cells. This can cause the amoebae to swell and potentially burst if they cannot effectively expel the excess water. To counteract this, amoebae often rely on contractile vacuoles to regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular integrity.
Amoebae are heterotrophic.
Amoebae and bacteria reproduce differently, but in both animals it is a form of asexual reproduction. That means that there does not have to be a 'mommy and daddy'. One cell can split into two cells all by itself.
