    Study Notes

    Amoeba Structure

    • Amoebas are single-celled organisms.
    • Food Vacuole: Stores ingested food particles.
    • Uroid: Excretes waste.
    • Contractile Vacuole: Regulates water balance.
    • Water Vacuole: Involved in water regulation.
    • Pseudopodia: Temporary extensions of cytoplasm used for movement and capturing food.
    • Plasmagel: The rigid outer layer of cytoplasm.
    • Plasmasol: The more fluid inner part of cytoplasm.
    • Ectoplasm: The outer gel-like layer of cytoplasm, provides structural support.
    • Endoplasm: The inner fluid layer of cytoplasm, stores nutrients and other molecules.
    • Nucleus: The control center of the cell, containing genetic material.
