Describe the morphological features of amoeba proteus?

Amoeba proteus is a unicellular organism with a shapeless, constantly changing cell membrane called a cell cortex. It lacks a fixed shape but generally exhibits an irregular, amorphous appearance with pseudopods (or false feet) used for movement and feeding. The cell contains a nucleus, contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation, and food vacuoles for digestion.


How are the forams different from their relative?

Forams are single-celled protists with a shell made of calcium carbonate or silica, while their relatives, amoebas, lack a shell and are generally free-living. Forams also have pseudopods for movement and feeding. Despite both being protists, forams and amoebas differ in their structure, habitat, and feeding strategies.


What cell traps micro-organisms?

White blood cells, particularly phagocytes like neutrophils and macrophages, are responsible for trapping and ingesting microorganisms such as bacteria to help fight infection. These immune cells work to identify and engulf pathogens through a process known as phagocytosis.


Is the flagella in the animal cell or the plant cell?

Generally neither. Plant cells to not have flagella and, apart from sperm, neither do animal cells. Flaglla are more characteristic of bacteria and protists.


Does hay infusion use true motility or brownian movement?

Hay infusion consists of microorganisms like protozoa. Most of the protozoa are motile in nature since they have locomotive structures like flagella, cilia and pseudopods that's why the organisms that can be found in hay infusion generally moves.

What is the diet for the amoeba?

Amoebas generally feed on microscopic organisms like bacteria, algae, and other small particles. They engulf these particles through a process called phagocytosis, where they surround and ingest the food particles using their pseudopods. The diet of an amoeba is primarily based on what is available in their environment.

What type of cell is responsible for phagocytosis?

Neutrophils are cells that do not absorb either an acidic or basic dye and consequently are a purplish color. They are also called phagocytes because they specialize in phagocytosis and generally combat bacteria in pyogenic infections.


What type of particles are engulfed in the process of phagocytosis?

Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs matter and packages it into an internal vesicle. Pinocytosis is the same process but for a liquid. Collectively these can be referred to as endocytosis. A type of human white blood cell called a phagocyte uses phagocytosis to ingest bacteria, toxins and other pathogens and delivers them to lysosomes (membrane bound vesicles of digestive enzymes). The phagocyte then undergoes autophagy (self digestion) and dies, during infection the build up of these dead cells gives rise to puss.
