"A. proteus can be called 'immortal', as it does not die due to natural death on its own, due to binary fission. .. A. proteus reproduces asexually and so it simply copies its genetic information into the second cell." (https://davidwangblog.wordpress.com/life-cycle-and-reproduction/) | |||
"Amoebae move and feed by using pseudopods, which are bulges of cytoplasm formed by the coordinated action of actin microfilaments pushing out the plasma membrane that surrounds the cell. Typically, an amoeba moves by extending a pseudopod, attaching it to the substrate and filling it with cytosol, then releasing its rear portion from attachment to the substrate, which results in the organism being propelled forward."(wikipedia) | "Amoebae move and feed by using pseudopods, which are bulges of cytoplasm formed by the coordinated action of actin microfilaments pushing out the plasma membrane that surrounds the cell.
