Amoebae are fascinating creatures.
They can transform themselves into almost any shape
imaginable. Ok, so not exactly. Although their bodies
can't form sharp edges, or make details, it is still
amazing what they can do. The boneless structure of
this creature is amazing. Although the simplest
organism on the face of the planet, scientists do not
know much about these creatures. They reproduce by
splitting into two parts, and eat by wrapping
themselves around their prey. Crazy? You haven't
heard, er...read anything yet. If you already know something or
two about amoebae, then you probably have seen it
spelled ameba. Although this is correct, the word
amoeba is preferred. Ameba is standard when used
scientifically. Amoeba is almost always used when it
is part of another word, such as the disease caused by
amoeba, amoebic dysentery. Well, I hope you have fun exploring
my site and learning awesome stuff about the world of
the other side of the microscope.
Hi! And welcome to my website
devoted entirely to the amoeba proteus. This web page
will give you everything you wanted to know (and even
more) about amoebae! First, I should tell you what the
heck an amoeba is, if you don't know. An amoeba,
basically, is a tiny, microscopic, one celled organism
that seems to "flow" like water. You will learn more
as you explore deeper into the site. The most common
type of amoeba is the amoeba proteus, which is what I
mostly studied. Now, I would list updates of this site
right here, but everyone does that and no one reads
them, so why bother?
