∙ 10y agoAnimal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina are known as amoebas. They move and feed by extending and retracting pseudopods, which are temporary bulges of the cell membrane. Amoebas primarily engulf food particles through phagocytosis.

Cilia and flagella are short threadlike structures extending from the cell membranes of protists. They are used for movement and/or feeding by creating a whipping motion to propel the organism through its environment.
Paramecia belong to the classification of protists known as ciliates. Ciliates are characterized by the presence of hair-like structures called cilia, which they use for movement and feeding.
The scientific name for ciliates is Ciliophora. They are a group of protists characterized by the presence of hair-like structures called cilia used for movement and feeding.
Sarcodines are unicellular protists that move and capture food using pseudopods, which are temporary extensions of their cell membrane. This distinguishes them from other protists that may use cilia or flagella for movement and feeding. Sarcodines also exhibit diverse shapes and structures, such as amoebas and foraminiferans.
Some protists are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain nutrients by ingesting organic matter. Others are autotrophs, capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis. Additionally, some protists can switch between both feeding mechanisms depending on environmental conditions.
Amoebas are the animal-like protists in the phylum Sarcodina that use pseudopods for both movement and feeding. These pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used to engulf food and propel the organism forward.
Members of Sarcodina are characterized by their use of pseudopods for movement and feeding, while Mastigophora have flagella for mobility and feeding. Ciliophora are distinguished by their use of cilia for movement and possessing complex oral structures called cytostomes. Freely living members of these groups are typically found in freshwater environments.

Animal-like protists that use pseudopods for feeding and movement
The short threadlike structures in animal-like protists that extend from the cell membrane are called cilia. Cilia are used for movement and feeding in these single-celled organisms.
Ciliates belong to the kingdom Protista. They are single-celled organisms that have hair-like structures called cilia for movement and feeding.

Paramecium is a single-celled organism that belongs to the group of protists called ciliates. They have hair-like structures called cilia all over their body that help with movement and feeding. Paramecium can be found in freshwater environments.
