Amoeba
used for movement and capturing food
no. Amoebas are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that belong to order Sarcodina and Kingdom Protista. they move by using pseudopods.
A Plant organism.
Slime moulds and amoeba move using this method.
pseudopods
amoebas
Pseudopods are what help eukaryotes and single-cell organisms move. They work simply as a temporary extension, which the organism then uses to pull itself forward.
used for movement and capturing food
The amoeba has pseudopods.
The amoeba in Figure 15 belongs to the group of protozoans called sarcodines. Sarcodines move and feed by forming pseudopods (soo duh pahdz)---temporary bulges of the cell. The word pseudopod means "false foot." Pseudopods form when cytoplasm flows toward one location and the rest of the organism follows. Pseudopods enable sarcodines to move. For example, amoebas use pseudopods to move away from bright light. Sarcodines also use pseudopods to trap food. The organism extends a pseudopod on each side of the food particle. The two pseudopods then join together, trapping the particle inside. FROM SCIENCE EXPLORER 2009 LIFE SCIENCE BOOK
Cilia: Small hair-like structures on the protist that wave back and forth to move it. Flagella: A whip-like structure on the end of a protist that twirls to propel the organism. Pseudopods: Foot-like extentions of cytoplasm that extend outward and pull the organism with it.
One is an organism (pseudopod) and the other is a way of moving about (via pseudopods).

Amoeba (sometimes amœba or ameba, plural amoebae) is a genus of protozoa that moves by means of pseudopods, and is well-known as a representative unicellular organism. The word amoeba or ameba is variously used to refer to it and its close relatives, now grouped as the Amoebozoa, or to all protozoa that move using pseudopods, otherwise termed amoeboids.
Pseudopods serve two important functions-locomotion and food capture, activities that are often interrelated. Amoebas use their pseudopods to ingest food by a method called phagocytosis (Greek: phagein, to eat).The streaming of protoplasm inside the pseudopods moves the amoeba forward. When the organism contacts a food particle, the pseudopods surround the particle. After the food is corralled by the amoeba, an opening in the membrane allows the food particle to pass into the cell. Inside the cell, the food is enclosed within food vacuoles, digested by enzymes, and assimilated by the amoeba. The amoeba expels particles that are not acceptable as food.
an amoeba which is a "blobby" single celled organism collects food buy trapping stuff like bacteria in it. you can look up videos of it on the internet
Pseudopod functions as a foot of some kind, which many organisms that possesses it use to move around.
