Question

Amoeba is an _____ organism.

Answer 1

Hint: Single cell organisms consist of organelles that involve in the production of proteins inside the cells and are found on RER and in a scattered structure inside the cytoplasm and also inside the mitochondria. It carries the coding for the genetic materials.

Complete Answer:
Amoeba is a eukaryotic organism and moves in crawling fashion. Thus, amoebae are single celled organisms.

- The organisms are divided into; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are characterized on the basis of the complexity of their cells. The organization of the body of eukaryotes is more organized than prokaryotes.
- Amoebae are eukaryotes, their cytoplasm and cellular content cover the cell membrane. The DNA is packed inside the cellular compartments called nucleus. Finally, they contain specialized structures termed as organelles that execute the cellular functional range that involve protein transport and energy production.
- All the eukaryotes comprise the same organelles but Entamoeba histolytica does not consist of Golgi apparatus; the organelles are responsible for transportation and modification.

Additional information:
There are many organs like structures found inside the cell and are considered as cell organelles. Each organelle has particular structure and function. The organelles involve; cell membrane or we also call it plasma membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, and vacuoles. Some of the organelles are found in specific organisms like plastids and cells only found in plant cells.

Note: When you observe the cell organelles you can find out the rough endoplasmic reticulum attached in the surface of Golgi bodies so, students may get confused between ribosome and endoplasmic reticulum has organelles within a organelles. But remember RER is found attached on the surface but the ribosomes are found scattered inside the chloroplast and mitochondria.
