Answer:
An amoeba functions as a part of the food web as a consumer and scavenger .
- This organism feeds on dead matter as well as other small organisms such as algae and protozoans. The amoeba in turn provides food for water fleas and mussels.
Explanation:
- The amoeba is a single-celled organism called a protozoan that usually lives in water or inside other organisms as a parasite. This organism doesn't have a rigid shape, but it is made of a flexible material that changes shape as needed.
- An amoeba is made of protoplasm, a viscous, clear material with a cell membrane separating the ectoplasm and the endoplasm, or the outer and inner parts of the cell. The endoplasm contains the nucleus of the cell.
- While most amoebas are too small to see with the naked eye, some of the common and giant species grow large enough to see without the aid of a microscope. While most species are harmless, including the parasitic ones, a few can cause real damage.
- The Entamoeba histolytica causes fatal dysentery in living organisms. The Naegleria fowleri is a deadly amoeba that finds its way to the brain and uses it as a food source .
- It is found in warm or hot water such as lakes, untreated swimming pools, hot springs and aquariums.
