Amoeboid movements are because of:
Correct answer: C. Microfilaments
- A. Intermediate filaments
- B. Microtubules
- C. Microfilaments
- D. Cytoskeleton
Explanation
Microfilaments are associated with streaming movement or mass movement of cytoplasm, called cyclosis. Any intracellular movement of cytoplasm is carried out by the rhythmic contraction of microfilaments, and for pseudopodial movement, intracellular movement of cytoplasm is required.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
