It literally translates to "fake foot" and is used for feeding and locomotion in microscopic organisms.
It extends from the cells body then engulfs the prey in to the cell, dissolving it and turning into nutrients
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.
The amoeba
Pseudopodia are temporary and extendable protrusions used for cell movement and engulfing food in organisms like amoebas. Flagella and cilia are hair-like structures used for locomotion or moving fluids along the surface of cells in organisms like sperm cells and certain single-celled organisms.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a large particle by extending pseudopodia around it and bringing it into the cell in a membrane-bound vesicle.
No, cyanobacteria do not have pseudopodia. Pseudopodia are temporary protrusions of the cell membrane used for movement in certain single-celled organisms like amoebas, while cyanobacteria move through gliding or floating.
Pseudopodia are temporary extensions of the cell membrane used for movement in certain cells, such as amoebas. They can also be used to engulf food particles during phagocytosis.
Pseudopodia are present in Amoeba.
The best example is amoeba. They move by using these "false feet" extending their cell into what looks like foot and then retracting it. That results in them pulling themselves forward or to the side.
Amoeba are famous for their pseudopodia.
It forms pseudopodia to obtain its food.
Pseudopodia is the plural of the singular noun pseudopodium.
Pseudopodia
Protozoans move with the help Pseudopodia, cilia and flagella. Pseudopodia - Amoeba Cilia - Paramaecium Flagella - Euglena
Pseudopodia that are broad and used for locomotion and engulfing food are called lobopodia. These are typically large and rounded extensions of cytoplasm that enable amoeboid cells to move and capture prey.
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.
