Help me understand what amoebas is and if it's important or not and also is it in anyway related to endosymbiotic theory.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abhisar do you think you can help me uunderstand what Amoebas like you did with the cells?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hey there!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So amoebas...ryt ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I tried finding where it was in the lesson cause it's in my assignment but i don't remember learning it...

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok, remember i drawed a diagram last time...and there was this protozoa..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Well this little amoeba is a Protozoan.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Have you learned the classification....the kingdom...classes..and stuff like that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think so i just started this like i have a question on my assigment but i don't want to post it and have someone answer it so that's why i didn't post it but i just need to understand it to answer it if you want i can post it maybe that could make it easier for you to know what to explain to me?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok you cn do that if you want, but for amoeba, it is a protozoan or protist. This organism has pseudopodia (false feet like structure) which they use to catch prey. These are microscopic unicellular eukaryotic organisms and cause diseases like amoebic dysentery.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I don't know if you understand these terms...protist, protozoan....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i heard of the disease but i still like don't understand what it is i think it's because i don't understand what protist and protozoan; i kept re-reading my lesson to make sure if it's on there but it's not they only have one question about it and they asked is Amoeba made of cell or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain how the observations of the amoebas and bacteria studied by Professor Kwang Jeon relate to the endosymbiotic theory. this is the exact question on my homework
