The false feet of Amoeba are used for (a) movement only. (b) the capture of food only. (c) the capture of food and movement. (d) exchange of gases only.

Answer: Option (c) the capture of food and movement

Explanation

Amoeba is a single-celled animal that changes its shape continuously. Its false feet known as pseudopodia allow the exhibition of locomotion as well as capturing of the food. However, it doesn’t facilitate exchange of gases in any manner, so option (d) is incorrect.

The false feet enable the amoeba to change its shape and thus move in the desired direction. Also, anytime it senses that there is food around, the false feet are pushed out in an attempt to capture the food which then gets trapped in the food vacuole when engulfed.
