Think of Amoeba like a single water balloon that can stretch and change its shape to swallow food droplets, whereas multi-cellular organisms are like large buildings made of millions of specialized bricks.
Amoeba = Always Made Of One (cell)
Being a unicellular organism, a single cell in Amoeba performs all vital life processes including respiration, digestion, excretion, and locomotion. It captures food through phagocytosis using its pseudopodia.
Amoeba is a unicellular organism belonging to Kingdom Protista.
It moves and captures food using temporary projections known as pseudopodia.
Seaweed, leech, and liver fluke are multicellular organisms.
Unicellular organisms carry out all metabolic functions inside a single cell.
High surface-area-to-volume ratio allows efficient nutrient exchange via diffusion.
Limited size due to dependence on diffusion for transport.
Studied as a model organism for cell biology, locomotion, and phagocytosis.
Seaweed is a multicellular marine macroalgae.
Leech is a segmented worm (Annelida) with multiple cells.
Liver fluke is a parasitic flatworm (Platyhelminthes) composed of numerous organ systems.
A is correct тАФ Amoeba is a single-celled eukaryotic organism belonging to the phylum Protozoa.
