Question

What changes occurs in amoeba to survive in adverse conditions?

Solution

During adverse environmental periods, many amoebas survive by encystment: the amoeba becomes circular, loses most of its water, and secretes a cyst membrane that serves as a protective covering. When the environment is again suitable, the envelope ruptures, and the amoeba emerges.
