No one loves their food as much as an amoeba.🦠 The #amoeba feeds by surrounding an object and ingesting it, essentially hugging the food into its “belly.” If you look closely you are able to see the cytoplasm inside the cell along with ingested material, the nucleus, and other cellular components. An amoeba moves by changing its shape and forming projections called pseudopodia ⁠— bulges of cytoplasm formed by the coordinated action of microfilaments pushing out the plasma membrane that surround

This single-cell organism is an amoeba, and it's on the hunt! To engulf algae, the amoeba extends and retracts its pseudopods — which is a temporary arm-like projection of a eukaryotic cell membrane. #MicroscopicMonday 🧫 🔬 by MicrobialEcology | Science Channel
