The amoeba is a tiny, one-celled organism. You need a microscope to see most amoebas - the largest are only about 1 mm across. Amoebas live in fresh water (like puddle and ponds), in salt water, in wet soil, and in animals (including people). There are many different types of amoebas. The name amoeba comes from the Greek word amoibe, which means change. (Amoeba is sometimes spelled ameba.)
Anatomy: An amoeba consists of a single blobby cell surrounded by a porous cell membrane. The amoeba "breathes" using this membrane - oxygen gas from the water passes in to the amoeba through the cell membrane and carbon dioxide gas leaves through it. A complex, jelly-like series of folded membranes called cytoplasm fills most of the cell. A large, disk-shaped nucleus within the amoeba controls the growth and reproduction of the amoeba.

How does the nucleus of an amoeba look like?
That website has great pictures of Amoebas! http://www.btinternet.com/~stephen.durr/amoebaproteus.html
What two types of amoeba-like protozoa don't look like amoebas?
The two types of amoeba-like protozoa that don't look like typical amoebas are radiolarians and foraminiferans. Radiolarians have intricate silica shells that give them a distinctive appearance, while foraminiferans have calcium carbonate shells with pores through which they extend pseudopods.
Do amoebas like light or do they not like light?
Amoebas do not have eyes or light-detecting organs, so they do not have the capability to perceive or respond to light like organisms with photoreceptors do.
Do amoebas have backbones?
No, amoebas do not have backbones. They are single-celled organisms that lack complex structures like skeletons or backbones.
What moves like amoebas and reproduce like fungi?
Slime molds move like amoebas through a process called cytoplasmic streaming, and they reproduce like fungi through the formation of spores. Slime molds are unique organisms that exhibit characteristics of both amoebas and fungi.

What Amoebas really look like?
amoeba do not have a particular structure they change their structure according to their grabbing of food.

What makes you think amoebas are more animal like than plant like?
Amoebas are more animal like than plant like because they eat the insides of the cell
Do amoebas like light or do they not like light?
Amoebas do not have eyes or light-detecting organs, so they do not have the capability to perceive or respond to light like organisms with photoreceptors do.
Do amoebas have backbones?
No, amoebas do not have backbones. They are single-celled organisms that lack complex structures like skeletons or backbones.
How does amoeba look like boilogicaly?
Amoebas are unicellular organisms. That is, they are made of one single cell, and are invisible to the naked eye, without a microscope.
What is the translation of pseudopod?
false foot. Like in amoebas, they move by pseudopodia, because the way they use their cytoplasm to move causes them to look like they have feet, even though they do not.
What moves like amoebas and reproduce like fungi?
Slime molds move like amoebas through a process called cytoplasmic streaming, and they reproduce like fungi through the formation of spores. Slime molds are unique organisms that exhibit characteristics of both amoebas and fungi.
What group of protists does amoebas belong to?
animal-like
