Question

What do you mean by pseudopodia in Amoeba?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. A temporary protrusion or retractile process of the cytoplasm of a cell (such as an amoeba or a white blood cell) that functions especially as an organ of locomotion or in taking up food or other particulate matter.

2. A pseudopodium (plural: pseudopodia) refers to the temporary projection of the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.

3. True amoeba (genus Amoeba) and amoeboid (amoeba-like) cells form pseudopodia for locomotion and ingestion of particles.

4. Pseudopodia form when the actin polymerization is activated.

Answer 2

Pseudopodia in Amoeba:

1. As we know that the temporary protrusion or retractile process of the cytoplasm of a cell ( such as an amoeba or a white blood cell ) that functions especially as an organ of locomotion or in taking up food or other particulate matter.

2. A pseudopodium ( plural: pseudopodia ) refers to the temporary projection of the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.

3. True amoeba ( genus Amoeba ) and amoeboid (amoeba-like) cells form pseudopodia for locomotion and ingestion of particles.

4. Pseudopodia form when the actin polymerization is activated.

As we know that the pseudopodium  also called pseudopod, temporary or semipermanent extension of the cytoplasm, used in locomotion and feeding by all sarcodine protozoans (i.e., those with pseudopodia; see sarcodine) and some flagellate protozoans.
