#protozoan

• Amoeba — A microscopic unicellular organism from the protozoa class, characterized by an unstable shape, a gelatinous body, and the ability to project temporary cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopods (or false feet). These dynamic structures are utilized by the organism both for locomotion and for capturing food (bacteria, algae) through phagocytosis, living in fresh or marine aquatic environments, or as a parasite in the bodies of animals and humans.
• Amoeba — A primitive microscopic single-celled eukaryotic organism from the protozoan phylum (class Rhizopoda / Sarcodina), characterized by a flexible cellular structure lacking a rigid wall, which constantly changes its shape by emitting pseudopodia (false feet) used for locomotion and capturing food via phagocytosis.
• Amoebae — An atypical, obsolete plural form or neologic graphic variant used in some medical and biological treatises to designate amoebae (single-celled eukaryotic protozoans of the class Rhizopoda) or to refer to structurally related microscopic taxa.
• Amoeba — A neologic and academic graphical variant for 'amibă'; a microscopic unicellular organism from the protozoan phylum, lacking a rigid cell membrane, characterized by its constantly changing body shape. It moves and captures food (bacteria or other microorganisms) by means of temporary protoplasmic extensions called pseudopods.
