    Question

    Which of the following is a false feet by which amoeba swallows its food?

    A.

    Exopodia

    B.

    Pseudopodia

    C.

    Philopodia

    D.

    Reticulopodia

    Correct option is B

    Pseudopodia, meaning "false feet," are extensions of the cytoplasm used by amoeba for movement and food capture. Amoeba engulfs food particles by surrounding them with pseudopodia, forming a food vacuole where digestion occurs.

    Key points:
    ● Pseudopodia enable amoeba to move and change shape.
    ● They are formed by the flow of cytoplasm toward the desired direction.
    ● Amoeba uses pseudopodia to engulf food through a process called phagocytosis.
    ● The food vacuole formed during this process is where digestion takes place.
    ● Pseudopodia are dynamic and retract once their function is complete.
    ● This adaptation allows amoeba to survive in aquatic environments.
