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. |
