What functions do pseudopodia perform for an Amoeba?​

Pseudopodia are an example of blunt transient processes employed by cells such as amoeba or the neutrophil leucocyte for locomotion and the uptake of food particles and /or other extraneous matter.

Pseudopods have two main functions: (1) locomotion and (2) capture of prey or engulfing of food. For instance, amoeba can crawl by extending the cytoplasm and the contraction of the filaments. The pseudopodbulge outward from the edge of the cell to pull in the entire organism as it goes forward.

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an objects's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
