The cell's organelles and cytoplasm are enclosed by a cell membrane; it obtains its food throughphagocytosis. This makes amoebae heterotrophs. Amoebae have a single large tubular pseudopod at the anterior end, and several secondary ones branching to the sides. The most famous species,Amoeba proteus, averages about 220-740 μm in length, while in motion [6] making it a giant among amoeboids.[7] A few amoeboids belonging to different genera can grow larger, however, such as Gromia, Pelomyxa, and Chaos.
Amoebae's most recognizable features include one or more nuclei and a simple contractile vacuole to maintain osmotic equilibrium. Food enveloped by the amoeba is stored and digested in vacuoles. Amoebae, like other unicellular eukaryotic organisms, reproduce asexually viamitosis and cytokinesis, not to be confused with binary fission, which is how prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce. In cases where the amoeba are forcibly divided, the portion that retains the nucleus will survive and form a new cell and cytoplasm, while the other portion dies. Amoebae also have no definite shape.

What is an amoeba-?
An amoeba is a unicellular, genderless organism that belongs to the Protista kingdom & can reproduce through asexual reproduction. Amoeba are the unicellular, microscopic organism which moves by the help of pseudopodia (false foot)
Is amoeba a cell or organism?
amoeba is cell not a organism.
If you discover a unicellular organism that moves by what appear to be pseudopodia you conclude that this organism is?
Likely an amoeba, which is a type of unicellular organism that moves using pseudopodia, or temporary extensions of its cell membrane. Amoebas are known for their ability to change shape and move by extending and retracting their pseudopodia.
How many cells does amoeba have .?
An amoeba is a unicellular organism.
An amoeba consists of a single cell and has a nucleus what is an amoeba called?
An amoeba is a type of single-celled organism belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa. It is classified as a protist, specifically a unicellular eukaryote.
What organism is an example of asexual?
Amoeba reproduce asexually, along with every other type of bacteria.

No. The amoeba is a kind og living organism.
What are animals with no definite shape called?
The amoeba is a type of an organism which is unicellular and has no definite shape. Amoeba came from the Greek word 'amibe' that means change.
What is a amoeba organism?
An amoeba is a type of single-celled organism that moves and feeds by using pseudopods, or temporary bulges of the cell. They are found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments and play essential roles in the ecosystem as decomposers and as a food source for other organisms.
How many amoeba are there?
One. The amoeba is the largest single celled organism.
Is yeast and amoeba a flowering plant?
No, yeast and amoeba are not flowering plants. Yeast is a type of fungus, while amoeba is a type of single-celled organism called a protist. Flowering plants are a specific group of plants that reproduce through flowers and seeds.
