What else can I help you with?
Why would an Amoeba die if placed in salt water?
Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.
What is the Name of the substance that amoeba releases in pond water?
The substance released by amoeba in pond water is called pseudopodia. These are temporary projections of the cell membrane that help the amoeba move and capture food.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
If an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm (hypotonic solution), water will move into the amoeba through osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. This is because the higher concentration of solutes inside the amoeba creates a gradient for water to move into the cell.
Which if the three move the slowest a paramecium amoeba or euglena?
Amoebas move the slowest out of the three organisms (paramecium, amoeba, euglena). They use pseudopods to move and typically glide along surfaces at a slow pace.
Which organism moves faster amoeba or paramecium and why?
Paramecium moves faster than amoeba because it has cilia, tiny hair-like structures that beat rapidly to propel the organism through the water. Amoeba, on the other hand, moves by extending its pseudopods, which is a slower form of movement compared to cilia.

What will happen if amoeba is put in distilled water?
since distilled water is hypotinic to the amoeba's cell sap water moves into the amoeba through osmosis diluting it's cell sap, the contractile vacuole become more active in order to eliminate excess water

How fast can amoeba move?
An amoeba can move 2.6 billion light years. Hopes that this helps!!!!! =D
What body part allows amoeba to move?
The psuedopod is used to help the amoeba move, and also to eat. It is a part of the amoeba's body that it can stretch out and pull itself with.

What does an amoeba use to move?
pseudopodia
What is the difference between an amoeba and a soap bubble?
Amoebas are single-celled organisms that can move and feed on other microorganisms, while soap bubbles are made of soapy water and air and are temporary structures that exist due to surface tension. Amoebas are living organisms with biological processes, while soap bubbles are non-living structures created by physical properties.
Which organism moves faster amoeba or paramecium and why?
Paramecium moves faster than amoeba because it has cilia, tiny hair-like structures that beat rapidly to propel the organism through the water. Amoeba, on the other hand, moves by extending its pseudopods, which is a slower form of movement compared to cilia.
Why does salt water and fresh water move through the same water cycle?
because they are both water
What protistans move by the means of pseudopods?
amoeba
