What happens in the movement of molecules in passive transport?
In passive transport, molecules move across a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. This process does not require energy input from the cell. Common types of passive transport include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
What and how do amoeba's eat?
An amoeba cell eats other unicellular organisms like paramecium, bacteria, and plant cells. Some are even parasitic! Amoeba cells eat by moving its cytoplasm (also called pseudopods) around its prey. The prey is literally inside the amoeba now. The Amoeba forms a vacuole around it and breaks it down for nourishment and absorbs it through its cytoplasm.
Why can amoeba get so large?
Well, the amoeba is a very complicated type of cell life form. An Amoeba does not go through a well planned diet, so they get much larger then other cells. Amoeba's basically eat anything they can find or die trying.
What does the Nucleus in the amoeba do?
As with all cells, multicellular and unicellular, the nucleus acts as the controller of the cell. In an amoeba, it controlls movement, when to eat, and controlls reproductive abilities.
How much does an amoeba need to eat?
An amoeba typically consumes food equal to its own volume, which can vary depending on its environment and the availability of nutrients. It primarily feeds on smaller organisms like bacteria and algae, engulfing them through a process called phagocytosis. The amount it needs to eat can also depend on factors such as temperature and metabolic activity, but overall, they require a consistent supply of food to sustain their cellular functions.
Do amoeba's produce their own food?
No they do not. They "eat" through a process known as phagocytosis.

What do amoeba eat on?
Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists
When does a amoeba eat?
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter.
How does amoeba eat food?
Endocytosis
Why do amoeba get so large?

What do the amoeba use to eat with?
Psuedopod
What does amoeba eat by?
To eat, the amoeba stretches out the pseudopod, surrounds a piece of food, and pulls it into the rest of the amoeba's body. Amoebas eat algae, bacteria, other protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter. Amoebas reproduce (make more amoebas) by a process called binary fission.

Why do some amoeba get so large?

What body part allows amoeba to move?
The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.
