Amoebas do not have plant-like features; they are unicellular organisms classified as protists. Unlike plants, which have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a defined structure, amoebas exhibit a flexible cell membrane and can change shape. They obtain nutrients through phagocytosis, engulfing food particles rather than producing their own energy through photosynthesis. Therefore, while both amoebas and plants are essential to their ecosystems, they possess fundamentally different characteristics and functions.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
Structures such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and vacuoles that are present in amoeba and paramecium are also found in plant cells. Additionally, both plant cells and these protists contain a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus.
An organism (a living thing ... plant or animal) that consists of a single cell. Like an amoeba or a paramecium.
There are several differences in the structure of a sunflower versus an amoeba.A few are the following:Kingdoms: sunflower = plant; amoeba = ProtistaCell membranes: sunflower = cell wall; amoeba = semipermeable membrane onlyorganelles: sunflower = cholorplasts; amoeba = pseudopodCell organization: sunflower = differentiated multicellular: amoeba = single cellHabitat: sunflower = confined to land areas; amoeba = confined to water
Animal-like protists
Amoeba is an animal-like, one-celled organism.
An amoeba is a single-celled organism. It can be either plant-like or animal-like however it is not really either.
Amoeba is animal-like because they can not do photosynthesis which other plant-like protists can do. Amoeba are protozoans. Amoeba hunt for their food. They eat bacteria, smaller protozoans and other smaller organisms.
The amoeba is an animal protist. There is not any specific distinction between plants and amoebas.
Animal like protist. Protozoa means primitive animal.
Plant cells, amoeba, and paramecium all have cell membranes, vacuoles, and a nucleus. A plant cell has cytoplasm, while amoeba and paramecium have endoplasm and ectoplasm.

The Amoeba eats Algea, Bacteria, Plant Cells, and aslo other unicellular organisms
Animal-like protists
Amoeba demonstrates locomotion by crawling and changing shape using pseudopods, while Elodea does not demonstrate locomotion as it is a stationary aquatic plant.
