What pushes amoeba and means false feet?

Amoebas have false feet or pseudopods to help the amoeba move. Amoebas uses their "false feet" to capture food and to find shelter.


What protists by extension of false feet called pseudopodia?

Amoeba


How is amoeba different from diatom?

Amoeba is a single-celled organism belonging to the phylum Protozoa, while a diatom is a single-celled organism belonging to the phylum Bacillariophyta. Amoeba moves and feeds through pseudopodia (false feet), while diatoms have a silica shell called a frustule and photosynthesize using chlorophyll.


An amoeba moves by sending out projections of cytoplasm called Pseudopods(false feet)?

An amoeba moves by extending its cytoplasm to form structures known as pseudopods, or "false feet." These temporary projections allow the amoeba to anchor itself to surfaces and pull its body forward, facilitating movement in various environments. Pseudopods also play a crucial role in feeding, enabling the amoeba to engulf food particles through a process called phagocytosis. This versatile movement and feeding mechanism is essential for the amoeba's survival.


How does an amoeba and engulf its food and explain with a diagram?

An amoeba engulfs its food through a process called phagocytosis. It extends its cell membrane to form pseudopodia (false feet) that surround and envelop the food particle, creating a food vacuole. The amoeba then secretes enzymes to digest the food within the vacuole. Unfortunately, I can't provide a diagram, but you can visualize it as an amoeba stretching out its membrane around a piece of food, enclosing it in a bubble-like structure.
