Any organism that moves by means of pseudopodia (false feet) is called an amoeboid. Amoeboids are a branch of protozoans, but there are porotzoans that are not amoeboids. The answer to your question is that some protozoa (amoeboids) have pseudopodia (false feet), but the rest do not.
The ciliates do not cause malaria. Malaria is caused by protozoa. They have pseudopodia.
One method used to classify protozoa is by their method of locomotion. This can include cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia movement.
The amoeba
Yes, the formation of pseudopodia is a function of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton helps to provide structural support and allows for the dynamic changes in shape required for pseudopodia extension and retraction in cells like amoebas. Microfilaments and microtubules within the cytoskeleton play key roles in the formation of pseudopodia.
Pseudopods act as feet and help in movement.
Protozoa are classified based on their movement. They can be classified into four main groups: amoebae, flagellates, ciliates, and sporozoans. This classification is based on the structures they use for locomotion, such as pseudopodia, flagella, cilia, or lack of movement altogether.
In single celled organisms such as amoeba.Hope this helped :)Kaytiprox
Pseudopodia are present in Amoeba.
Amoeba are famous for their pseudopodia.
Amoebas move by means of pseudopodia, or the sarcodine protozoa. This characteristic movement involves the extrusion of the cytoplasm for movement or for feeding by engulfing food.
The flagellum or cilia of protozoa help with movement by propelling the organism through its environment. Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be found in various aquatic and terrestrial habitats, including freshwater, marine environments, and soil.
