Amoeboid movement is the most common mode of locomotion in Eukaryotic cells. It is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formation of pseudopodia. The cytoplasm slides and forms a pseudopodium in front to move the cell forward. This type of movement has been linked to changes in action potential; the exact mechanism is still unknown.
Amoeba. Amoeba (also spelled ameba) is a genus of protozoa that moves by means of temporary projections called pseudopods (false feet), and is well-known as a representative unicellular organism.he word amoeba is also used to refer to both this genus and its close relatives, now grouped as the Amoebozoa, as well as to refer to all unicellular organisms that move by pseudopods. The pseudopods, or false feet, result from the extension of cytoplasm outward.
