| Did you know that animal-like protists are single-celled consumers and are also called protozoa. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| I know and they are divided into four different phyla: amoebalike protists, flagellates, ciliates, and spore-forming protists. | |
| | |

| | |
| Yeah, amoeba is a soft, jelly-like protozoan that is found in fresh and salt water, in soil, or as parasites in animals. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Amoebas are a highly structured cell. They have contractile vacuoles to get rid of excess water. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Amoeba's also feed by engulfing food and once they sense another single-celled organism they move toward it. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| It surrounds a bacterium or small protists with its pseudopodia, forming a food vacuole. After it digests the food its ready to get rid of the waste. | |
