How do amoebas compete for food and space to survive?
This is a very vague question. Try being a little more specific. There are two unique characteristics of amoebas that relate to “food” and “space.” The first one, relating to “space”, is that amoebas move by extending pseudopods. Think of an amoeba as a blob of jelly. A pseudopod is an extension of the cytoplasm (jelly). So it will extend a pseudopod and then slime over to it. The second characteristic relates to “food.” Amoebas eat by a process called phagocytosis. That is, they engulf food particles surrounding the food with their cytoplasm.
