A picture of an amoeba.

Noun: Amoeba

Amoeba has all the parts that an animal cell has, but it is unicellular so it is not counted as an animal.

When amoeba reproduce they make two exact copies of themselves. This is called cell division.

Amoeba move with something called pseudopodia where they stretch a small part of themselves in one direction and then pull themselves along.

Amoeba take in food with a food vacuole and get rid of waste with a contractile vacuole.
