Psuedopodia translates in Greek as literally "fake foot". It is a temporary structure extending from the amoeba and is the means by which it moves. Other animal cells, such as white blood cells, also move using this mechanism.
The pseudopod also extends toward and engulfs food and liquid to sustain the amoeba.
An amoeba uses its pseudopods (fake feet, literally translated) to extend out from its cell body to engulf foreign bacteria. It then breaks the cell membrane off of the outside, forming a membrane around the bacterial cell (or other foreign body) that is now inside the amoeba cell. It can then inject enzymes to digest the bacterial cell and break it down to use for energy. In essence, it eats the bacteria. A good example of this is your lymphocytes (or white blood cells) engulfing foreign bacteria or infected cells as part of your immune response to infection.
The amoeba uses the pseudopod (false foot) in the following ways:
Amoeba uses pseudopodia because it does not have extra organs for catching and taking food .hence it uses pseudopodia to catch its prey and get its meal.
Amoebas, unicellular eukaryotes, use pseudopods (false feet) for transportation and to trawl food.
It uses pseudopodia for movement and for ingesting food organisms.
I think they use them to catch food and move.
The amoeba moves by means of a pseudopod. It extrudes the pseudopod from the main mass of the cell, and then the rest of the cell flows into the pseudopod.
The two uses for pseudopodia in amoebas are -
pesudopods help the bacteria to move
pseudopods help the bacteria to eat

protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
Amoeba. This type of motion is known as "amoeboid motion".
The main two characteristics of living things are: -The ability to grow -A consistency of cells
topic and claim
we can use waste things by recycling
pseudopodia
They use it to engulf or surround their food
They use psuedopods
The amoeba
No. Amoeba and ciliates are two groups of protozoan parasites. The amoeba are unicellular, which are characterized by the pseudopodia. Ciliates are protozoa, unicellular and use cilia on their surface.
Pseudopods are flowing extensions of the amoeba's cytoplasm, which the amoeba use to move around. They do this by stick a part of their cytoplasm outward to an open area, then the part will pull the rest of the amoeba toward it.
An amoeba is a shapeless cell which can extrude a part of itself, which is called a pseudopod (literally, false foot) and then the remainder of the cell can flow into that pseudopod, at which point the amoeba has moved.
Amoebas move by means of pseudopodia, or the sarcodine protozoa. This characteristic movement involves the extrusion of the cytoplasm for movement or for feeding by engulfing food.
Amoeba obtains its nutrition in a heterotrophic mode. Both the anabolic and catabolic functions are carried out in the same cell. Amoeba feeds on plankton and diatoms present in water. It can form arm- like structures called pseudopodia, extending from any part of its body as it is shapeless. When it senses food in its surroundings it extends its pseudopodia in that direction and moves towards it. then it engulfs the food with its pseudopodia. When the food enters its body the amoeba forms a food vacuole around it which contains certain enzymes to digest the food. When the food is digested the unwanted waste is released through its body surface.
Amoeba's move by extending pseudopodia. They push microfiliments into their membranes and extend then out as far as they can is a " false foot " type extension. Ten they pull their cellular body up to the point of the pseudopodia extension.
Actually, the amoebae uses it outer cell membrane. It arranges it's microtubles into an extension into the membrane that pushes it out into the arm called the pseudopodia ( the term you need ). Then it just pulls itself along after the extended pseudopodia. Another answer could be a pseudopod.
Sarcodines use pseudopodia to move by temporary cytoplasmic projections. These protozoans include the genus Amoeba and Entamoeba histolytica, the later is the cause of dysentery.
