Amoeba (Amoeba Proteus)
Information
About
They get energy from eating another organisms (algae, bacteria, and plants cells). Amoeba Proteus moves by extending their cytoplasm and appears to do so in a slow, gliding fashion. Amoeba Proteus can be found in clean ponds with fresh water. By creating a pond like environment with leaves, fresh clean water, mud, and a few wheat grains, let the mixture sit for a few days and it will produce Amoeba Proteus. The nucleus, cytoplasm, contractile vacuole, and food vacuole are important to the Amoeba Proteus.
Facts
• How Amoeba Proteus got its name. Amoeba means to "change" and Proteus comes from a Greek god who can change shapes.
• The amoeba reproduces by diving itself by two.
• When the amoeba eats its prey, the prey remains alive inside the amoeba for some days.
• Amoebas are composed of just one cell.
• Most of Amoebas looks like a blob and some of them build shield.
It's pieces
cell membrane - the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the amoeba; it allows some substances to pass into the cell, and blocks other substances.
contractile vacuole - the amoeba organelles that excess water and waste; the waste is brought to the cell membrane and is then eliminated from the amoeba.
cytoplasm (ectoplasm and endoplasm) - a jelly-like material that fills most of the cell; the organelles are surrounded by cytoplasm.
food vacuole - the amoeba organelles in which food is digested.
nucleus - the major organelle of the amoeba, located centrally; it controls reproduction (it contains the chromosomes) and many other important functions.
pseudopods - temporary "feet" that the amoeba uses to move around and to cover food.

How its eat
- The amoeba heads toward the paramecium that doesn't know that the Amoeba was there.
- It begins to spread out it's body to catch its prey.
- The amoeba keeps changing its shape until it enclosed is prey.
- The paramecium will soon be completely inside the amoeba.
- The amoeba will absorb it's food directly inside its cell walls.
