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.

How does an amoeba cope with high water concentration?
Amoeba have special vacuoles that fill up with water, then moves outside of the cell and bursts. The concentration of water outside the amoeba is higher than inside the cell, because the vacuole contains mineral salts. So the concentration of water inside the vacuole is low. Therefore water molecules move from outside of the cell into the vacuole due to osmosis. Then when the vacuole becomes full it goes outside of the cell and bursts. A new vacuole is then made.
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.
Why amoeba in a hypotonic solution shrinks?
A hypertonic environment for a cell is created when the solution outside of the cell is hypertonic in comparison to the cytoplasm of the cell. The amoeba has more dissolved solute than the cytoplasm of the cell. In this situation, water is in higher concentration inside the cell and will move, by osmosis, to the outside in an attempt to equalize the concentrations. Water leaving the cell will cause shrinkage of the cell and a loss of mass. Thus, it shrinks not bursts.
Is the amoeba abiotic or biotic?
biotic means something that is living. amoeba is a unicellular organism. every living being is made up of a cell. amoeba is living as it has a cell which performs functions. thus amoeba is a biotic component
What cell organelle formed by the pseudopod?
an amoeba cell is a cell that contains a pseudopod
Are ameba's harmful?
amoeba's the single cell organism's are not harmful to humans. Matter of fact you most likely have Millions of amoeba and other single cell organisms living around and inside you at all times. And by the way you spelled amoeba wrong. NOTE TO USER WHO ANSWERED^^^^: You can spell Ameba or Amoeba either way. Ameoba is the common way to spell it.
Does an amoeba move by sending out projections of cytoplasm called pseudopods?
YES. "Pseudopod" means "fake feet". It is an extension of the amoeba's cell membrane and cytoplasm that not only moves the amoeba, but also encircles and engulfs food and liquid.
Why is amoeba is dangerous and harmful?
Most are harmless. A few can become parasites. amoeba's the single cell organism's are not harmful to humans. Matter of fact you most likely have Millions of amoeba and other single cell organisms living around and inside you at all times. And by the way you spelled amoeba wrong.
Is amoeba a cell or organism?
amoeba is cell not a organism.
Cells are in an amoeba?
cells are in a amoeba
Is amoeba a variable shape cell?
yes amoeba is a variable shape cell
How much cells are in an amoeba?
there are only one cell in amoeba
Is an amoeba an example of a prokaryotic cell?
No Amoeba is not prokaryotic , it is Protist .
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
Does an an amoeba have cells?
yes,but it is an unicellular organisms it has only one cell.
Why is it important for the cytoplasm to move continuously in a cell?
Cytoplasm moves because it has to transport all the materials inside the cell and in some protozoans it is even necessary for movement of whole cell such as Amoeba.
An amoeba consist of a single cell and has a nucleus . What is an amoeba called?
eukaryote
