Q

How does the ameoba use endoplasm?

A

It pushes it towards the cell membrane which causes the body to extend and creep alone and it uses this method to also eat food

17
Q

How does an ameoba eat?

A

The pseudopodia extend out and wrap around the food particle (phagocytosis)

18
Q

How do ameobas reproduce?

A

Miotic division

A

Amoebic dysentery
It infects people through contaminated water and causes cramps and diarrhea
