How does amoebas trap food particles and to move?

Amoebas use cytoplasmic streaming to trap food particles and move. Cytoplasmic streaming is caused by microfilament movement in the cytoskeleton of an amoeba. The cytoplasmic streaming allows the amoeba to surround its food particles. The arm like projects that seem to come out of the amoeba are called pseduopodia. When the cytoplasm completely surrounds the food particles it forms a vacuole around them. The pseduopodia also allow the amoeba to move.

An amoeba is a unicellular microorganism. What cell part does an amoeba use for locomotion?

An amoeba uses pseudopodia, which are temporary projections of its cell membrane and cytoplasm, for locomotion. By extending and retracting these pseudopodia, the amoeba can move in a flowing manner, allowing it to navigate its environment and capture food. This method of movement is known as amoeboid movement.
