unicellular eukaryotes
locomotion of amoeba
“False-feet”
Extensions of the cell body
pseudopodia
advancing end of the pseudopodium where the endoplasm flows into
hyaline cap
2 proteins of amoeba for locomotion
actin and myosin
form broad, blunt pseudopodium called a lobopodium
Actin meshwork
form narrow pointed pseudopodium called a filopodium
Actin fibers
reproduction of amoeba
Asexual reproduction by a type of mitotic cell division
binary fission
feeding of amoeba
food vacuoles
type of ingestion that involves encircling the prey by the pseudopodia
phagocytosis
take in fluid droplets and minute food particles by a process of channel formation
pinocytosis
respiration of amoeba
diffusion
osmoregulation of amoeba
Clear bubble containing no particles
Increases in size by accumulation of fluid and then ruptures and disappears
Rids the amoeba of excess water that has been taken in by osmosis
contractile vacuole
Causative agent of Amebiasis
entamoeba
active feeding phase, gumagalaw sa loob
Trophozoite
Spindle-shaped and greenish due to chloroplasts which contains chlorophyll
Common in stagnant freshwater
euglena
nonmobile stage sa loob, mature cyst contains 4 nuclei that can emerge from the cyst resulting in daughter amoebas
cyst
locomotion of euglena
one or more flagella
