Novanet: Amoeba (: enjoy yer cheatin
YES. The ameoba is a perfect example of a unicellular organism which goes after its food. The cell membrane and cytoplams extends toward the food or away from a bad stimulus (heat, dryness, too much light). If it is food or liquid, the pseudopod moves toward the source and engulfs it. The word "pseudopod" is Greek meaning "false foot".
Any protoplasmic filament or irregular process projecting from any unicellular organism, or from any animal or plant call., A rhizopod.
Pseudopod functions as a foot of some kind, which many organisms that possesses it use to move around.

The cell organelle formed by a pseudopod is called a phagosome. It is a membrane-bound vesicle that results from the engulfment of particles, such as bacteria or food, by the pseudopod during phagocytosis.
Pseudopod amoeba refers to amoebas that move using temporary extensions of their cell membrane called pseudopods. Amoeboid motion, on the other hand, is a type of movement exhibited by some cells, like amoebas, where they change shape and squeeze through spaces by extending and retracting their pseudopods. Essentially, pseudopod amoeba describes the type of amoeba, while amoeboid motion describes the specific movement mechanism used by these cells.
Amoebas have pseudopods. The amoeba reached for food with its pseudopod.
yes
Amoeba
no
To feed, an amoeba will extend a psuedopod around the food to draw it in.
It is called the Flagellum :D Flagellum- a long whiplike outgrowth from a cell that acts as an organ.
