It is eukaryotic, meaning it has a defined nucleus. 2. **Understand Movement Mechanisms**: Familiarize yourself with the different structures that organisms use for movement. The options provided are: - Flagella - Pseudoplasmodia - Cilia - Pseudopodia 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Flagella**: These are long, whip-like structures used for movement in some protists and bacteria, but Amoeba does not use flagella for movement. - **Cilia**: These are short, hair-like structures that cover the surface of some protists and help in movement. However, Amoeba does not have cilia. - **Pseudoplasmodia**: This term is not relevant to Amoeba's movement and is not a recognized structure for movement. - **Pseudopodia**: This term refers to "false feet." Amoeba extends its cytoplasm to form these temporary projections, which allow it to move and capture food. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that Amoeba moves with the help of **pseudopodia**. ### Final Answer: Amoeba moves with the help of **pseudopodia**. ---
