what is the motion food collecting structure in amoeba
Answers
An amoeba eats algae, bacteria, protozoans, and tiny particles of dead plant or animal matter.
The motion food collecting structure in amoeba is pseudopodia. It is an arm like structure of amoeba that helps it to pull the food into it’s body.
When a food particle comes near an amoeba, it surrounds it’s food with pseudopods and pulls it inside.
Pseudopodia is the motion food collecting structure of amoeba. Pseudopodia is a temporary cytoplasm-filled projection of an unicellular protist.
Pseudopodium which consist of Pseudopodes are mostly found in amoeboids in order to perform motility and grabbing the food.
Pseudopodes has micro-filaments that have the ability to contract and extent due to the reversible assembly of actin sub units. Amoeba uses the pseudopods to grab the food by surrounding it completely when the food approaches near it.
