"What does the prefix ""pseudo-"" mean?" Pseudo- definition, a combining form meaning “false,” “pretended,” “unreal,” used in the formation of compound words (pseudoclassic; pseudointellectual): in scientific use, denoting close or deceptive resemblance to the following element (pseudobulb; pseudocarp), and used sometimes in chemical names of isomers (pseudoephedrine).

- A temporary cytoplasmic extension is known as pseudopodium, which means literally 'false foot'. Pseudopodia are powered by microfilaments near the cellular membrane. About half of the internal space in an amoeba contains microfilaments. A pseudopodium contains both granuloplasm and hyaloplasm.

Pseudopodia Pseudopods are one of the three locomotion modes of unicellular organisms (together with flagella and cilia). Pseudopods can also capture prey by phagocytosis. Pseudopedia are used by some cells to move around. They can detect food and place it inside the cell. The human white blood cell uses this way to get around. Pseudopods can be classified into several varieties according to their appearance: Lobopodia are short and blunt in form, very typical of Amoebozoa.

Flagellum A flagellum (/fləˈdʒɛləm/ ; plural: flagella) is a lash-like appendage that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.The word flagellum in Latin means whip.n example of a eukaryotic flagellate cell is the mammalian sperm cell, which uses its flagellum to propel itself through the female reproductive tract. Eukaryotic flagella are structurally identical to eukaryotic cilia, although distinctions are sometimes made according to function and/or length.

Pittosporum Pittosporum (/pɪˈtɒspɵrəm/ or /ˌpɪtɵˈspɔərəm/) is a genus of about 200 species of flowering plants in the family Pittosporaceae. The genus is probably Gondwanan in origin; its present range extends from Australasia, Oceania, eastern Asia and some parts of Africa.he species are trees and shrubs growing to 2–30 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged or whorled, simple, with an entire or waved (rarely lobed) margin.

Pseudopodia Pseudopodia do not all look like amorphous blobs; instead, they can be classified by their distinct appearances. Lobopodia are bulbous and amoebic. Filopodia are slender, thread-like, and are supported largely by microfilaments. Reticulopodia are very complex and bear individual pseudopodia that form irregular nets.

- Pseudopods, or false feet, are found in many protozoa from the brain-eating amoeba to the radiolaria. Protozoa are single-celled critters that have to consume food. Although pseudopods come in a variety of shapes and forms, they have the same function in protozoa: movement and to capture prey. For example, the amoeba is able to change shape and move by pushing cytoplasm outward, creating pseudopods that act as an anchor to pull it forward.

Pseudopodia Pseudopods (which translates to false feet) are temporary cytoplasm-filled parts of the cell wall that are able to change their form in order to move. They are used in some eukaryotic cells to move around or to eat. Most cells that do this are called amoeboids. The amoeba is a common example.

Amoeba The amoeba moves by continually changing its body shape, forming extensions called pseudopods (false feet) into which its body then flows. The pseudopods also are used to surround and capture food—mainly bacteria, algae, and other protozoa—from the surrounding water.

- (The singular is pseudopodium, or, less formally, pseudopod.) Pseudopodia are used for locomotion and capturing food. (Unlike some other protists, members of the phylum Rhizopoda lack flagella.) Hard-parts: Individuals of some genera each make a case for the bulk of their protoplasm; this is called a test.

- A flagellum (/fləˈdʒɛləm/; plural: flagella) is a lash-like appendage that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The word flagellum in Latin means whip. The primary role of the flagellum is locomotion, but it also often has function as a sensory organelle, being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell.[1][2][3][4] Flagella are organelles defined by function rather than structure.

Sarcodina - move with pseudopodia The amoebas. They are a blob of protoplasm formed in a single cell. By flowing their protoplasm forward into a foot then bringing the rest of their body into the foot, they can slither along. Some Sarcodina have firm axial rods instead of pseudopods. They move by motion in these rods.
