Anatomy: An amoeba consists of a single blobby cell surrounded by a porous cell membrane. The amoeba "breathes" using this membrane - oxygen gas from the water passes ... Locomotion: Amoebas move by changing the shape of their body, forming pseudopods (temporary foot-like structures). The word pseudopod means "false foot."

An enzyme in the vacuole digests the unfortunate food organism, and its nutrients dissolve into the amoeba's cytoplasm. Undigested food and wastes are excreted through the cell membrane, which also absorbs oxygen from the surrounding water and eliminates carbon dioxide.

: How does an amoeba move from one pond to another ... Answer: Amoebae are often picked up and transported by birds, e.g. ducks and other animals that move from pond to pond. Amoebae need only a small volume of water to be transported and so, simply touching the water may result in some amoebae being transferred.

This page is about how amoeba move. You many think, "What? So they move? What's there to learn?" There is LOTS to learn about amoeboid movement, or locomotion. So how does a liquidy, sloppy, one celled bacterial organism move, anyway?

Most device drivers and many other parts (servers) currently inside the Amoeba should move outside the kernel in usual user processes with privileged rights. Similar concepts from Mach, VSTa, L3/4 and QNX influenced the new design to create an Operating System ready for the third millenium!

As Ron noted, Bob Pennak's figures are only for those amoebas with lobopodia. There are three other major types of pseudopodia, all with different rates of activity. Pennak's top speed is relatively slow. Some bacteria move up to 11 microns per second, and can be beaten by a fast-moving amoeba.
