Flagella (plural of flagellum) and cilia are hair-like, extra-cellular projections. Flagella are usually associated with prokaryotic cells and have the function of conferring motility. Cilia tend to be associated with eukaryotic cells and again have the function of bringing about movement of the whole cell or as in the epithelial cells of animals are involved the movement or transport of materials. e.g. help to keep the lungs clean. Pseudopodia (plural of pseudopodium - meaning 'false foot') are usually associated with the whole-cell movement of amoeba. Extension of the cytoplasm allow the unicellular organism to move.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following groups uses pseudopodia for movement?
The amoeba
What is functions of pseudopodia?
It extends from the cells body then engulfs the prey in to the cell, dissolving it and turning into nutrients
What is the process called when a cell surrounds a large particle with pseudopodia and then engulfs it?
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.
What type of movement does a amoeba use?
An amoeba moves through a process called amoeboid movement, using temporary extensions of its cell membrane called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia extend and contract to propel the amoeba in the direction it wants to move.
How does xylem differ from phlegm?
Xylem is a one way flow
How does amoebic cell differ from plant cell?
An Amoebic cell is differentiated from plant cell by its pseudopodia
Pseudopodia are present in?
Pseudopodia are present in Amoeba.
What protist uses pseudopodia?
Amoeba are famous for their pseudopodia.
When does an Ameoba form a pseudopodia?
It forms pseudopodia to obtain its food.
What possess pseudopodia?
Pseudopodia is the plural of the singular noun pseudopodium.
What structures are responsible for irritability in amoeba?
Pseudopodia
How do protozoans move'?
Protozoans move with the help Pseudopodia, cilia and flagella. Pseudopodia - Amoeba Cilia - Paramaecium Flagella - Euglena
Does cyanobacteria have pseudopodia?
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.
Do algae contain pseudopodia?
No, algae do not contain pseudopodia. Pseudopodia are temporary projections of eukaryotic cells, primarily found in certain protozoa, like amoebas, which use them for movement and feeding. Algae, being primarily photosynthetic organisms, have various structures for locomotion, such as flagella or cilia, but they do not possess pseudopodia.
How do sarcodina move?
Pseudopodia
Is the formation of pseudopodia a function of the cytoskeleton?
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.
What does an amoeba use to move?
pseudopodia
