Definition:The type of movement used by certain single-celled organisms like amoebae, involving the formation and extension of pseudopodes.

Example:A key feature of amoeboid cells is their feeding mechanism, which involves the formation of pseudopodes to enclose food.

Definition:A method by which organisms, particularly amoebae, extend pseudopodes to engulf and digest food particles.

Example:Phagocytosis in amebas is facilitated by the extension of pseudopodes to engulf particles.

Definition:A type of organism that consists of one cell, often capable of independent life. Pseudopodes are commonly found in these organisms during movement and feeding.
