Surrounding the tiny particles of food with psuedopods
An amoeba is a single-celled organism that moves and eats by extending psuedopods (foot-like) appendages.
The amoeba surrounds the food with psuedopods and forms a food vacuole. This vacuole then digests the food with digestive enzymes.
psuedopods ---- novanet here to help all future nova net/gradpoint users. These dumb arses had flagella as the answer -__-
They use tiny hair like things called cilla while other have whip like things called flagella and the ameba uses things called psuedopods, which means fake feet, that move out and traps food inside
Amoebas use pseudopods, which are temporary bulges of their cell membrane, to move around. By extending and retracting these pseudopods, amoebas are able to crawl and engulf food particles.
A temporary cytoplasmic projection used in feeding and movement is called a pseudopod. This structure is commonly found in certain single-celled organisms like amoebas, which use pseudopods to engulf food particles and move around.
the purpose of this is to have a purpose
Protozoans that move using pseudopods belong to the group called amoeboids, which includes organisms like Amoeba and Entamoeba. These protozoans extend their cytoplasm to form temporary projections called pseudopodia, allowing them to crawl and capture food. Pseudopodia also play a crucial role in their locomotion and feeding strategies.
