Best Answer

Unicellular organisms move in a variety of ways. Paramecia

have cilia, which are tiny hairs that act like oars and propel

the organism along. Bacteria move by

rotating a flagellum that looks a bit like oars and propel the organism

These organisms "swim" along. An amoeba moves by

changing shape and forcing its cytoplasm into extensions

called pseudopods.

Three types of unicellular organisms are paramecium, amoeba and bacteria.

The bacteria moves by rotating its flagellum. The flagellum resembles an oar, propelling the organism around.

The paramecium have small hairs called cilia, which are located on the edge of the body, and also act like oars and paddle the organism around.

The amoeba moves by changing shape and forcing the cytoplasm into extensions, which are called pseudopod.

Hope it helped :]
