Amoeba moves in water with the help of locomotory organs called_________?
Correct answer: C. pseudopodia
- A. tube feet
- B. cilia
- C. pseudopodia
- D. flagella
Explanation
Amoeba moves by extending temporary cytoplasmic projections called pseudopodia, whose formation depends on cytoplasmic streaming. Cilia and flagella are permanent hair-like or whip-like structures, so students may choose one of them by assuming every microscopic organism uses the same locomotory organ.
