Unique characteristics of amoeba

Answer 1

They are easily overlooked since they are transparent and often resemble decaying organic remains. Amoebas have lobe-shaped psuedopodia and are soil-dwelling fresh water or marine. The cytoplasm inside the cell is capable of changing into different states. It is able to turn from a fluid state plasmasol, to a more solid state plasmagel. A clever trick of the amoeba is they seem to use different engulfing tactics to suit various types of prey. They detect if a prey needs a fast approach (ciliates) or can be feasted on as a slow meal (immobile algae). Another amazing featture of the amoeba is when disturbed the amoeba proeus will change into a shape like a star. This allows it to free float in the water. These are just a few differences I could come up with maybe someone else can elaborate more:)

Answer 2

Amoebas are single-celled organisms that move using pseudopods, which are temporary extensions of their body used for both movement and feeding. They lack a fixed body shape and can change their shape based on their environment. Amoebas exhibit a primitive form of digestion in which they engulf their food through phagocytosis.

Answer 3

An Amoeba is a single cell organism. They form fake feet to move around on by enlarging cytoplasm. Their nucleus is oval shaped. They do not reproduce sexually.

Answer 4

Amoeba have an extremely large genome. A human is known to have 2.9 billion base pairs within its genome, while the tiny amoeba can have up to 670 billion base pairs.
