Key Points
- Amoeba is a single-celled organism with the capacity to alter their form.
- Ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers are their typical habitats for them.
- In amoeba, the food is taken by the entire body's surface area.
-
The amoeba lacks a mouth and anus and its endoplasm contains a granular nucleus, food vacuoles, and contractile vacuoles.
-
Amoeba consumes food by creating a vacuole around the food particle using their cytoplasmic extensions. To digest the food particles, enzymes are then secreted.
Additional Information
- An organism that only has one cell is referred to as a unicellular organism, or single-celled organism, as opposed to a multicellular organism, which has numerous cells.
- Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms are the two broad classifications of creatures.
- Bacteria and archaea are two groups that make up the majority of prokaryotes.
- While most eukaryotes have several cells, some, like protozoa, single-celled algae, and single-celled fungi, have only one cell.
- Flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia are only a few of the mechanisms used by protozoa to move about.
