Question

  1. in your own words describe what an amoeba is a single - celled eukaryotic organism known for its ability to constantly change its shape.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

An amoeba is a single - celled eukaryote. It lacks a fixed shape as it can extend pseudopodia (temporary projections of its cytoplasm) to move and engulf food. It lives in aquatic or moist environments, and its cell has a nucleus and other organelles. It feeds on bacteria and other small organisms by phagocytosis and reproduces asexually, usually by binary fission.

Answer:

An amoeba is a single - celled eukaryotic organism. It has no fixed shape, can form pseudopodia to move and capture food (like bacteria) via phagocytosis, lives in moist/aquatic habitats, has a nucleus and organelles, and reproduces asexually (e.g., by binary fission).
