Question

The chief advantage of encystment of an Amoeba is….
A. The ability to survive during adverse physical conditions
B. The ability to live for some time without ingesting food
C. Protection from parasites and predators
D. The chance to get rid of accumulated waste products.

Answer 1

Hint: Encystment of Amoeba is passed regularly to drift over unfavorable conditions like failure and extreme temperature, etc. During these conditions, the Amoeba forms a covering or tubercle wall around itself.


Complete step by step solution:
An amoeba, frequently called an amoeboid, is a type of cell or unicellular organism which has the capability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and renouncing pseudopods. Amoebae don't form a single taxonomic group; rather, they're set up in every major lineage of eukaryotic organisms.
 Amoeba is a unicellular organism that has the capability to change its shape. They're generally set up in water bodies similar to ponds, lakes and slow- moving gutters. Occasionally, these unicellular organisms can also make their way inside the mortal body and beget colorful nails.
 During adverse environmental ages, numerous amoebas survive by encystment the amoeba becomes indirect, loses utmost of its water, and secretes a tubercle membrane that serves as a defensive covering. When the terrain is again suitable, the envelope ruptures, and the amoeba emerges.
 Amoeba forms a tubercle and reproduces by multiple fission, during adverse environmental conditions. The beast secretes a three- concentrated, defensive, chitinous tubercle around it and becomes inactive. Inside the tubercle, the nexus constantly divides to form several son capitals, which arrange themselves near the fringe. Each son nexus becomes enveloped by a small quantum of cytoplasm, therefore forming a son amoeba, called amoebula or pseudopodiospore. When favorable conditions arrive, the tubercle breaks off liberating the youthful pseudopodiospores, each with fine pseudopodia. They feed and grow fleetly to become grown-ups and lead an independent life.
Option A is the correct answer.

Note:
During adverse environmental ages, Amoeba survive by encystment. The Amoeba becomes indirect, loses the utmost of its water, and secretes a tubercle membrane that serves as a defensive covering. When the terrain is again suitable, the envelope ruptures and the Amoeba emerges.
