Amoeba
Amoeba's moods are always oozing.
Children, parents and educators will enjoy using these educational plush toys to teach about hygiene, disease and the human body. Each microbe comes with a description of the disease it causes or function it performs. Use these fun, non-threatening toys to emphasize the importance of washing hands and preventing sickness in social settings. Learn about amoebas at home or at school. Closely related to the giant
amoeba, this small protozoan uses tentacular protuberances called
pseudopodia to move and phagocytosize smaller unicellular organisms,
which are enveloped inside the cell's cytoplasm in a food vacuole, where
they are slowly broken down by enzymes. Amoeba proteus is very
well-known for its extending pseudopodia. |
