Question

2) the false feet of amoeba are used for................
1) movement only
2) capture of food only
3) capture of food and movement
4) exchange of gases only

Answer 1

The false feet of amoeba are used to capture food and for movement. (Option 3)

• The organisms like amoeba use feet-like structures to move around and capture food.
• The false feet are known as pseudopodia and are tiny projections that assist movement and survival.
• As soon as the amoeba locates its prey, its pseudopods extend around the prey and engulf it.
• So, these serve multiple purposes like eating and moving and option 3 is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

2) The false feet of Amoeba is used for 3) capture of food and movement.

Explanation:

• An Amoeba is the simplest, microscopic animalcule.

• This is a unicellular, eukaryotic organism that has an indefinite shape and that moves using "pseudopodia".

• "Pseudopodia" or "pseudopods" are the temporary surface projections of the cell and the word means "false feet".

• The cell uses the pseudopodia as a means of the locomotory organ.

• The false feet of Amoeba are used to capture food and assist movement.
• Pseudopodia function both for the engulfment of prey as well as for locomotion.

• The false feet engulf food from the outside environment through the pseudopodia while it uses the same to move from one location to another.

Therefore, Option (3) is the correct and most appropriate answer.
