Best Answer

Although amoebas are famous for being quite small they are actually on the large side for single-celled organisms. Many amoebas can be seen with the naked eye, and can grow up to about a millimetre in length. The most famous species of amoeba, Amoeba proteus, is around 700-800 micrometres in length, or 0.7-0.8mm.

some argue about 30 feet ( good to see American units used) and this is confined to the Ocean Floor. These creatures are adapted to pressures which could crush a conventional submarine - that is one not equipped with a pressure hull.

The most famous species, Amoeba proteus, is 700-800 μm (micrometre) in length but the species Amoeba dubia is as large as a millimeter, and visible to the naked eye.

Well an amoeba cannot grow because it is only a single celled animal and the moment it grows it splits in to two.
