The cytoskeleton polymerises and deploymerises its protein chain to vary in length, pushing the cell membrane to form contracting pseudopods.

How does amoebic cell differ from plant cell?
An Amoebic cell is differentiated from plant cell by its pseudopodia
What is a small sac that forms part of a cell membrane?
A vesicle forms as a small sac from the cell's membrane.
What are the locomotory organs of an amoeba?
Pseudopodia. This is an extension of the amoeba's membrane in two places for food gathering and, perhaps, one place for locomotion, by the cytoskeleton elements; the microtubules.
What process does an amoeba use to drink?
Amoeba obtains its nutrition in a heterotrophic mode. Both the anabolic and catabolic functions are carried out in the same cell. Amoeba feeds on plankton and diatoms present in water. It can form arm- like structures called pseudopodia, extending from any part of its body as it is shapeless. When it senses food in its surroundings it extends its pseudopodia in that direction and moves towards it. then it engulfs the food with its pseudopodia. When the food enters its body the amoeba forms a food vacuole around it which contains certain enzymes to digest the food. When the food is digested the unwanted waste is released through its body surface.
How do amoeba like cells move?
An amoeba is a shapeless cell which can extrude a part of itself, which is called a pseudopod (literally, false foot) and then the remainder of the cell can flow into that pseudopod, at which point the amoeba has moved.
Name the cell which form pseudopods?
The protist amoeba forms pseudopodia.
When does an Ameoba form a pseudopodia?
It forms pseudopodia to obtain its food.
How does amoebic cell differ from plant cell?
An Amoebic cell is differentiated from plant cell by its pseudopodia
What cell part does amoeba use for locomotion?
Actually, the amoebae uses it outer cell membrane. It arranges it's microtubles into an extension into the membrane that pushes it out into the arm called the pseudopodia ( the term you need ). Then it just pulls itself along after the extended pseudopodia. Another answer could be a pseudopod.
What structures are involved in a cell movement?
Cilia and Pseudopodia
What is a small sac that forms part of a cell membrane?
A vesicle forms as a small sac from the cell's membrane.
What forms part of the cell membrane and many of the cell organelles?
The answer is proteins.
How do you pronounce pseudopodia?
Pseudopodia is pronounced soo-duh-poh-dee-uh. It is the temporary projection from the cell of a amoeboid protozan. It is used for feed and locomotion.
Which part of the body of amoeba is used for getting food?
Cell Membrane The amoeba uses its cell membrane to form an arm-like structure (pseudopodia) to encircle food with its "arms" and engulfs it. Check the videos on youtube!
Which cell part inside of an amoeba is most likely used to make the extension?
Actually, the amoebae uses it outer cell membrane. It arranges it's microtubles into an extension into the membrane that pushes it out into the arm called the pseudopodia ( the term you need ). Then it just pulls itself along after the extended pseudopodia. Another answer could be a pseudopod.
What part of the cell forms a shell around it?
Nucleus
What part of cell forms a barrier between the cell and its enviorment?
The Cell Membrane for an animal cell and a Cell Wall for a plant cell.
