Presentation Transcript

  1. Amoeba proteus - Summary • Structure • Nucleus • Cell membrane • Contractile vacuole • Phagosome • Psuedopodium

  2. Locomotion • Ectoplasm changes gel to sol • Endoplasm streams • Pseudopodium forms

  3. Nutrition • Heterotroph – feeds on unicellular algae • Food engulfed by pseudopodia • Phagosome forms • Phagocytosis • Pinocytosis

  4. Osmoregulation • Water enters by osmosis • Contractile vacuole fills up • Enlarges • Bursts outwards • New vacuole forms

  5. Reproduction • Binary fission – splits in half
