Solution

Part (a): Amoeba compared to WBC:

  1. The Amoeba shows the pseudopodial movement which forms due to extension of the cytoplasm.
  2. The white blood cells follow the same type of movement because it needs to move through the small pores forming these cytoplasmic extensions.
  3. Here WBC is a cell inside an organism while the Amoeba itself is an organism.

Part (b): Eukaryotic cell:

  1. ​Both the Amoeba and the WBC are eukaryotic cells in this case with a well-defined nucleus and the functional cell organelles.
