Which of the following cells forms a temporary arm-like projection called pseudopodia for locomotion and ingestion of particles?
Answer: A
The cell is the Amoeba.
An amoeba moves and takes in food by extending temporary arm-like projections of its cytoplasm called pseudopodia.
Volvox moves with flagella, Spirogyra is a filamentous alga without such projections and yeast does not form pseudopodia.
Pseudopodia, meaning false feet, are temporary extensions of the cell used to move and to engulf food particles by phagocytosis. The amoeba is the standard example. Volvox swims with flagella, Spirogyra is a green alga that forms filaments, and yeast reproduces by budding.
