Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following cell show amoeboid movement?
A
erythrocytes
B
leucocytes
C
thrombocytes
D
lymphocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells like macrophages and leukocytes show amoeboid movement wherein pseudopodia are formed by cytoplasmic streaming.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amoeboid movement: Leucocytes present in the blood show amoeboid movement. Ciliary movement: Reproductive cells such as sperms and ova show ciliary movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amoeboid movement is the most typical mode of locomotion in adherent eukaryotic cells. It is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formation of pseudopodia ("false-feet") and posterior uropods.

Detailed explanation-4: -A crawling-like type of movement in which the cell forms temporary cytoplasmic projections called pseudopodia (false feet) towards the front of the cell. This type of movement is observed in amoebae (e.g. Amoeba proteus).
