Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Sarcodines use ____ to move and look for food
A
pseudopods
B
cilia
C
flagellum
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -sarcodine, any protozoan of the superclass (sometimes class or subphylum) Sarcodina. These organisms have streaming cytoplasm and use temporary cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia in locomotion (called amoeboid movement) and feeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sarcodina Those Protozoa which form pseudopods used in locomotion and feeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sarcodina move by amoeboid locomotion using protoplasmic extensions called pseudopods. Mastigophora move using a whip-like flagella. Ciliata move by means of cilia which cover the body surface. Apicomplexa (Sporozoa) are nonmotile and reproduce by spores.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sarcodina are the amoeboid protozoa which trap food by some form of pseudopodial action, pseudopodia which range from the single blunt lobopodium to the delicate tracery of reticulopodia which project from a foraminiferan shell. Both are designed to perform the same function, to trap food.

Detailed explanation-5: -A sarcodine, such as an amoeba, gets food by consuming particles of organic matter and smaller organisms in its environment.
