Locomotion In Amoeba:
Locomotion in Amoeba is called amoeboid movement and takes place by the help of pesudopodia which are temporarily formed finger like projections of cytoplasm. A pseudopodium, formed in the direction of movement, attaches to the substratum and by a contractile process whole cytoplasm flows into it. A fresh pseudopodium is formed father off in the same direction and cytoplasm is now pulled into it. The Amoeba thus moves in that direction by continuously repeating this process. Amoeboid movement depends upon alternate change of cytoplasm into fluid like Sol and a jelly like gel form.
