Answer:
➡Structure of Amoeba
✏Typically, most amoebas are characterized by the following features:
1)Movement occurs through the use of pseudopodia, where the cytoplasm pushes the plasma membrane outward or inward, creating blunt, finger-like projections.
2)There can be multiple pseudopodia at one particular instance, hence, its shape rapidly changes.
3)Structure of amoeba primarily encompasses 3 parts – the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and the nucleus.
4)The cytoplasm can be differentiated into 2 layers – the outer ectoplasm and the inner endoplasm.
5)The plasma membrane is a very thin, double-layered membrane composed of protein and lipid molecules.
6)Amoeba also contains other cellular organelles such as a contractile vacuole, mitochondria, Golgi .
➡ Function of Amoeba:-
✏It controls reproduction (it contains the chromosomes) . and many other important functions (including eating and growth). pseudopods – temporary “feet” that the amoeba uses to move around and to engulf food.
