1. Introduction to Amoeba PRESENTED BY SUHEL AHMED   GUIDED BY : Dr. AMARENDRANATH SIR . <DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY>

2. A MICROSCOPIC IMAGE OF AN AMOEBA Brief Introduction: Welcome to our presentation on Amoeba, a fascinating single-celled organism found in various aquatic environments This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY .

3. What is an Amoeba? Definition: Amoeba is a microscopic, unicellular organism belonging to the phylum Protozoa Key Features: It moves by extending finger-like projections called pseudopodia, which help it to crawl and capture food

4. : Habitat of Amoeba Habitat: Amoebas are  primarily found in freshwater habitats like ponds, lakes, and streams , rivers , etc.  Adaptability: They can thrive in various environmental conditions, making them highly adaptable organisms. THIS IMAGE IS TAKEN FROM AMAZON FOREST WEBSITE  Distribution: Amoebas are distributed worldwide .

5. Structure of Amoeba Flexible Body : Their body can change shape easily , stretching out in any direction This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY-SA . Anatomy: Amoebas consisting of a single cell and lack of fixed body shape , they look tiny blobs or a drops of jelly  . They also consist of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus    ​ Pseudopodia: They have pseudopodia , These are extensions of the cell membrane used for movement and feeding

6.  Feeding Habits of Amoeba: Feeding Process: Amoebas are heterotrophic, meaning they feed on other organism Amoeba has a holozoic mode of nutrition . The food source of Amoeba are usually bacteria and other protists and also eat dead organic materials . They ingest their food by phagocytosis , in which they spread their pseudopods around food particle and engulf it. Digestion: after ingestion food is transferred within the cell ,and form a food vacuole , where digestion occurs . This Phot o  licensed under CC BY-SA-NC .

7. Reproduction in Amoeba

8. :Importance of Amoeba Ecological Significance: Amoebas play a crucial role in nutrient cycling by consuming bacteria and organic matter in aquatic ecosystems. Research: They are also valuable organisms for scientific research, especially in studying cell biology and evolutionary processes. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC .

9. : Human Interaction with Amoeba. Parasitic Amoebas: Some species of amoebas like Entamoeba histolytica can cause diseases in humans and other animals, such as amoebic dysentery and brain infections Prevention: Proper sanitation and water treatment methods are essential for preventing amoebic infections Health Risks : While most amoeba are harmless , but some of amoeba can cause diseases in human.

10. :  Facts About Amoeba.

11. Conclusion Summary: In conclusion, amoebas are remarkable single-celled organisms with diverse habitats, feeding habits, and reproductive strategies Final Thoughts: Studying amoebas not only helps us understand the complexity of life at the microscopic level but also sheds light on the interconnectedness of all living
