two long grooves called raphes.
cilia.
flagella
Amoebas are single - celled organisms. Pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell's cytoplasm. Amoebas extend pseudopods in the direction of movement. The rest of the cell then flows into the pseudopod. Gliding mechanisms are not the main way amoebas move. Raphes are structures in diatoms (a type of algae), not related to amoeba movement. Cilia are hair - like structures used for movement in some other organisms (e.g., paramecium), but not amoebas. Flagella are long, whip - like structures for movement in flagellates, not amoebas.
