Question

Which of the following is an amoeboid movement?

• A. Cytoplasmic streaming by pseudopodia
• B. Passage of ova in the reproductive tract
• C. Passage of dust in the trachea
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cytoplasmic streaming by pseudopodia

Amoeboid movement occurs with the help of pseudopodia formed by the streaming movement of protoplasm. Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in amoeboid movement.
Passage of ova through the female reproductive tract is facilitated by ciliary movement. Cilia are the hair-like structures seen in the cells in the Fallopian tubes of the female reproductive tract. Similarly cilia in the trachea remove fine dust particles.
