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.

What will happen if amoeba is put in distilled water?

since distilled water is hypotinic to the amoeba's cell sap water moves into the amoeba through osmosis diluting it's cell sap, the contractile vacuole become more active in order to eliminate excess water


Is amoeba a variable shape cell?

yes amoeba is a variable shape cell


Why would you expect a freshwater amoeba to be more likely to have contractile vacuoles than a marine amoeba?

Because the surrounding freshwater concentration is higher than the salt concentration inside and so all the water from the vacuoles has left because of osomosis. while the marine amoeba has the surrounding salt concentration equal to the concentration inside the vacuole.


Why amoeba in a hypotonic solution shrinks?

Amoebas have a higher concentration of solutes inside their cells compared to the hypotonic solution outside. Water moves from the hypotonic solution into the amoeba's cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst. To prevent this, the amoeba expels water and shrinks in size in order to maintain internal balance.

The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to?

The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to the rearrangement of cytoskeletal proteins, particularly actin filaments, which push the cell membrane outward in the direction of movement. This process allows amoebas to change shape and move by creating temporary structures that help them engulf food and navigate their environment.


Is an amoeba made up of cells?

no. an amoeba cell is a unicellular organism, which means that it is only made up of one cell
