Answer
These are all types of pseudopodia that Protozoans have :
- lobopodia, characteristic of Amoeba, are blunt and fingerlike;
- filopodia are slender and tapering, occasionally forming simple, branched networks;
- reticulopodia, characteristic of the foraminiferans, are branching filaments that fuse to form food traps;
- axopodia, characteristic of the actinopods, are long and sticky (like reticulopodia) but radiate singly and have a stiff, internal rod composed of numerous microtubules.
Work Step by Step
Lobopodia and filopodia are formed as the result of a pressure system; reticulopodia and axopodia depend on a two-way flow of cytoplasm.
