What else can I help you with?
What cell organelle formed by the pseudopod?
The cell organelle formed by a pseudopod is called a phagosome. It is a membrane-bound vesicle that results from the engulfment of particles, such as bacteria or food, by the pseudopod during phagocytosis.
How does amoeba remove wastes?
Amoebas eliminate waste through a process called exocytosis. They form vesicles containing waste materials and then expel these vesicles from the cell through the cell membrane. This helps keep the internal environment of the amoeba clean and functioning properly.
What microscope would you use to observe a living amoeba?
A compound light microscope would be the most suitable choice for observing a living amoeba. This type of microscope allows for observation of live specimens under magnification, while also providing enough clarity to study cellular structures.
Which protists has a pseudopod?
Amoeba
Does the ameba have a nucleus?
The nucleus in an Amoeba controls everything that goes on in th cell. It is the brain of the cell.
What organelle is used by amoeba's to enclose their food?
Amoebas use their cell membrane to enclose food particles during a process called phagocytosis. This allows them to engulf and digest food particles.
Is amoeba multi cellular?
Amoeba is unicellular.
Why is it that you will not find an amoeba as huge as you in the swimming pool?
Amoeba is a single celled organism unlike you that is multi cellular.
Which organelle will help store and digest the food amoeba will eat?
Lysosomes hope that helps! :)
What is the function of a digestive vacuole in amoeba?
A digestive vacuole in an amoeba functions to break down and digest food particles that have been engulfed by the cell. This process helps the amoeba obtain nutrients for energy and growth. Once digestion is complete, waste material is expelled from the cell.
Do amoeba have cells?
amoebas are single celled organisms-1 cell
Is euglena multi cellular?
bigger than an amoeba makes it multi-cellular
What is the meaning of Amebic?
"Amebic" is an adjective that means, "Having to do with Amoeba". Amoebas are tiny, single-celled creatures. They take in food by wrapping their bodies around it until it is engulfed in the amoeba's body. There is a disease caused by one type of amoeba called, "Amebic dysentery". (am-EE-bick DISS-uhn-terry)
What is that organelle which expels ammonia in amoeba?
The organelle responsible for expelling ammonia in amoeba is called the contractile vacuole. This structure helps regulate osmotic pressure by collecting excess water and waste products, including ammonia, and expelling them from the cell. The contractile vacuole contracts to push out the waste, maintaining the internal environment of the amoeba. This process is crucial for the survival of the organism in its aquatic environment.
How do amoeba paramecium and euglena release energy?
Amoeba releases energy through the process of cellular respiration, which involves breaking down glucose molecules to generate ATP. Paramecium obtains energy through a combination of aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation. Euglena uses a specialized organelle called a chloroplast to conduct photosynthesis and produce energy in the form of ATP.
What does a lysosome do in the amoeba cell?
In an amoeba cell, lysosomes help in breaking down waste materials, old organelles, and engulfed food particles through a process called phagocytosis. They contain digestive enzymes that aid in the breakdown of these materials to be recycled or eliminated from the cell.
Does amoeba engulfs require energy?
Yes, engulfing requires energy because the amoeba must expend energy to rearrange its cytoplasm and membrane to surround and engulf the food particle. This process involves active transport mechanisms to move the engulfed material inside the cell.
