Amoeba move by crawling over a surface amoeboid movement). Which one of the following processes is part of amoeboid movement?
A) polymerization or extension of actin filaments to form bulges in the plasma membrane
B) reinforcing the pseudopod with intermediate filaments
C) setting up microtubule extensions that vesicles can follow in the movement of cytoplasm

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amoeboid movement involves the polymerization and extension of actin filaments to create pseudopods or bulges in the plasma membrane. This allows the amoeba to move forward by extending its pseudopods in the direction of movement. Intermediate filaments and microtubules are not typically involved in this type of movement.
