An amoeba cell eats other unicellular organisms like paramecium, bacteria, and plant cells. Some are even parasitic! Amoeba cells eat by moving its cytoplasm (also called pseudopods) around its prey. The prey is literally inside the amoeba now. The Amoeba forms a vacuole around it and breaks it down for nourishment and absorbs it through its cytoplasm.

Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.

Inch worms crawl similar to how an amoeba moves. They scoot their front legs forward, then their back legs. In the process, the center of their back that consists of no legs, moves upward and forms a hill shape. Caterpillars have legs all throughout the bottom of their body and do not have the amoeba movements.
