Answer:

Explanation: Amoeba and sarcodines are examples of protists that move by pseudopods. Some animal-like protists move by using cilia. Cilia are hair-like projections that move with a wave-like pattern. The cilia move like tiny oars to sweep food toward the organism or to move the organism through water.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An amoeba is a classification of protist (single-celled eukaryotic organism that is neither plant, animal, bacteria, nor fungus) that are amorphous in shape. They move via forming 'feet-like' pseudopodia, which are also used for feeding.
