Amoeba is an animal-like, one-celled organism.
Animal like protist. Protozoa means primitive animal.
An amoeba is a single-celled organism. It can be either plant-like or animal-like however it is not really either.
The amoeba is an animal protist. There is not any specific distinction between plants and amoebas.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Animal-like protists
An amoeba is considered an animal-like protist because it is a single-celled organism that moves and feeds on other organisms, like animals do. Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are usually photosynthetic organisms, like algae.
Euglena is a protist that exhibits both plant-like and animal-like characteristics. It can perform photosynthesis like a plant in the presence of light, but also actively hunts for prey using its flagellum.

An organism (a living thing ... plant or animal) that consists of a single cell. Like an amoeba or a paramecium.
Characteristics that make amoeba and paramecium animal-like include locomotion and lack of photosynthesis.
Because an amoeba has a nucleus, just like the other animals.
