Amoeba is a protist, so it is a microscopic in size , measuring 0.25 millimeters. It is a single celled life form It Is also a single celled organism.

  4. Type of organism an amoeba is • It is a free living organism • they are classified as herbivores, because the feed mainly on algae (in fresh water) which considerd a plant. • Amoeba is found in terrestrial as well as aquatic habitats. • It doesn’t really show any segmentation

  5. This is an example of what an Amoeba would look like

Interesting facts • An amoeba doesn’t really have a head or body, its kind of like a blob of nothing • An Amoeba can cause a person to get diarrhea and can even spread to the brain in cases when it is digested • The amoeba captures its prey by enclosing the micro-organism with its body. It, then, engulfs the prey. • The amoeba reproduces by dividing itself into two. This process is known as binary fission. Thus, it can be argued that technically the amoeba never dies.
