Cells - The Amoeba

The Amoeba


An amoeba is an unicellular organism. They are usually found in fresh water or salt water, wet decaying plants, or wet soil. They can also live on other organisms, such as a dog or a tree. Some amoebas can cause harm, such as diseases. Amoebas can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores. Amoebas are predators who hunt and eat other organisms like algae and bacteria. Amoebas use pseudopods to change shape and move. This ability allows them to surround their prey and eat them. Amoebas get rid of waste through their cell membrane.
