Helizoans are distinguished from other amoebas by their unique shell structure, which is typically composed of silica or other materials, forming intricate and often ornate tests. This characteristic, along with their distinct mode of locomotion and feeding, sets them apart from typical amoebas that may lack such shells. Additionally, Helizoans exhibit a more complex life cycle and specific ecological roles in their environments, further differentiating them from other amoeboid organisms.
Yes, amoebas can be found in ponds as they are common in freshwater environments. Amoebas feed on bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms present in the water.
Amoeba are protozoans. They eat algae and other protozoans. Protozoans are eaten by zooplankton in the marine environment.
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.
No, amoebas are not autotrophs. They are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain nutrients by ingesting other organisms or organic material. Amoebas typically feed on bacteria, algae, and other small particles by engulfing them through a process called phagocytosis.
The amoebas are in the protista kingdom.

Amoebas live because god made them.

Amoebae are heterotrophic, meaning they must eat other organisms to survive.
The amoebas are in the protista kingdom.
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.
Amoebas use phagocytosis to take in food and other materials. During phagocytosis, the amoeba extends its cell membrane around the particle and engulfs it, forming a food vacuole. The food is then digested inside the vacuole.
Amoebas reproduce asexually
