Explain encystment in amoeba?
Answers
Answer:
Well, encystment in amoeba can be defined a a period in an amoeba in which there is a drastic reorganization of the sub cellular structure of the vegetative cells in which cilia, flagella, vacuoles, and other inclusions disappear
Explanation:
During adverse environmental periods many amoebas survive by encystment: the amoeba becomes circular, loses most of its water, and secretes a cyst membrane that serves as a protective covering. When the environment is again suitable, the envelope ruptures, and the amoeba emerges.
Answer:
well, in adverse conditions amoeba loses its water and becomes spherical. It forms a hard covering which is called cyst. In cyst the nucleus divides mitotically again and again to form many daughter nuclei. Now they are called amoebulae. Cytoplasm gathers around every nucleus and forms spores like structures. These structures are called Psedopodiospores. In favourable condition the cyst ruptures and Psedopodiospores become free to form mature Amoeba
